Schedules) is hereby amended in its entirety in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto.
2. Amendments of Credit Agreement and Other Loan Documents.

4. Ratifications. Each Borrower (including

10. Parties. This Amendment binds and inures to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective successors and permitted assigns.
11. Entireties. The Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as amended by this
Amendment, represent the final agreement among the parties about the subject matter of the Credit
Agreement and the other Loan Documents and may not be contradicted by evidence of prior,
contemporaneous, or subsequent oral agreements of the parties. There are no unwritten oral

(a) Global Administrative Agent, the applicable Funding Agent, or the
applicable L/C Issuer, as applicable, shall determine the Spot Rates as of each
Revaluation Date to be used for calculating the Dollar Equivalent amount, the Euro
Equivalent amount, and the Yen Equivalent amount of Credit Extensions and any Credit
Extensions denominated in the Alternative Currency of each applicable Tranche. Such
Spot Rates shall become effective as of such Revaluation Date and shall be the Spot
Rates employed in converting any amounts between the applicable currencies until the
next Revaluation Date.
(b) Wherever in this Agreement in connection with a Committed Borrowing,
conversion, continuation or prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or BA Rate Loan,
or the issuance, amendment or extension of a Letter of Credit, or a Swing Line Loan,
an amount (such as a required minimum or multiple amount) is expressed in a Primary
Currency of the applicable Tranche, but such Committed Borrowing, Eurocurrency Rate
Loan, BA Rate Loan, Letter of Credit, or Swing Line Loan is denominated in an
Alternative Currency, such amount shall be the relevant Foreign Currency Equivalent

currency unit of any member state of the European Union that adopts the Euro as its
lawful currency after the date hereof shall be redenominated into Euro at the time
of such adoption (in accordance with the EMU Legislation). If, in relation to the
currency of any such member state, the basis of accrual of interest expressed in
this Agreement in respect of that currency shall be inconsistent with any convention
or practice in the London interbank market for the basis of accrual of interest in
respect of the Euro, such expressed basis shall be replaced by such convention or
practice with effect from the date on which such member state adopts the Euro as its
lawful currency; provided that if any Committed Borrowing in the currency of
such member state is outstanding immediately prior to such date, such replacement
shall take effect, with respect to such Committed Borrowing, at the end of the then
current Interest Period.
Global Senior Credit Agreement

(b) Each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable
changes of construction as Global Administrative Agent (in consultation with any
other relevant Agent and, to the extent a Default does not exist, ProLogis) may from
time to time specify to be appropriate to reflect the adoption of the Euro by any
member state of the European Union and any relevant market conventions or practices
relating to the Euro.
(c) Each provision of this Agreement also shall be subject to such reasonable
changes of construction as Global Administrative Agent (in consultation with any
other relevant Agent and, to the extent a Default does not exist, ProLogis) may from
time to time specify to be appropriate to reflect a change in currency of any other
country and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to such change in
currency.
1.6 Times of Day. Unless otherwise specified, all references herein to times of day shall be
references to United States Central time (daylight or standard, as applicable).
1.7 Determination of Letter of Credit Amounts and Whether a Letter of Credit is Outstanding.
(a) Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit at any
time shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent for the U.S. Tranche of the stated
amount of such U.S. Letter of Credit in effect at such time; the Euro Equivalent for
the Euro Tranche of the stated amount of such Euro Letter of Credit in effect at
such time; the amount of the Canadian Dollars of such Canadian Letter of Credit in
effect at such time, and the Yen Equivalent for the Yen Tranche of the stated amount
of such Yen Letter of Credit in effect at such time; provided that with
respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any Issuer
Document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated
amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the Dollar
Equivalent for the U.S. Tranche, the amount of Canadian Dollars for the Canadian
Tranche, the Euro Equivalent for the Euro Tranche; and the Yen Equivalent for the
Yen Tranche of the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving
effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect
at such time.
(b) For all purposes of this Agreement, if on any date of determination a
Letter of Credit has expired by its terms but any amount may still be drawn
thereunder by reason of the operation of Rule 3.14 of the ISP, such Letter of Credit
shall be deemed to be “outstanding” in the amount so remaining available to be
drawn.
ARTICLE II
U.S. COMMITMENTS AND U.S. CREDIT EXTENSIONS
2.1 U.S. Committed Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each U.S.
Lender severally agrees to make loans (each such loan, a “U.S. Committed Loan”) to each
U.S.
Global Senior Credit Agreement
58
Borrower in Dollars or in one or more Alternative Currencies of the U.S. Tranche, subject to
Section 2.2, from time to time, on any Business Day during the Initial Availability Period
with respect to such U.S. Lender’s Initial Commitment, and during the Extended Availability Period
with respect to such U.S. Lender’s Extended Commitment, as applicable, under the U.S. Tranche, in
an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of such U.S. Lender’s U.S.
Commitment; provided that after giving effect to any U.S. Committed Borrowing, (a) the U.S.
Total Outstandings shall not exceed the U.S. Aggregate Commitments, and (b) the U.S. Credit
Exposure of any U.S. Lender shall not exceed such U.S. Lender’s U.S. Commitment. Within the limits
of each U.S. Lender’s U.S. Commitment, U.S. Borrowers may borrow under this Section 2.1,
prepay under Section 2.6, and reborrow under this Section 2.1. U.S. Committed
Loans denominated in Dollars may be Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans, and U.S. Committed
Loans denominated in any Alternative Currency may be Eurocurrency Rate Loans, as further provided
herein.
2.2 U.S. Fronting Loans.
2.2.1 U.S. Fronting Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this
Section 2.2, upon a request for a U.S. Committed Borrowing in an Alternative Currency
or to a Foreign Borrower in compliance with Section 2.1, each Fronting Lender agrees,
subject to the limitations set forth below, to fund its Fronting Portion of such U.S.
Committed Borrowing in the requested currency on behalf of each applicable U.S. Non-Qualified
Lender with respect to such U.S. Committed Borrowing and in the amount of each such U.S.
Non-Qualified Lender’s Applicable Tranche Percentage for such U.S. Committed Loan (each a
“U.S. Fronting Loan”), notwithstanding the fact that such U.S. Fronting Loan, when
aggregated with the U.S. Credit Exposure of such Fronting Lender, may exceed the amount of
such Fronting Lender’s U.S. Commitment; provided that (a) after giving effect to any
U.S. Fronting Loan, the aggregate Dollar Equivalent amount of all Fronting Loans funded by
such Fronting Lender shall not exceed the Fronting Commitment of such Fronting Lender, and (b)
such Fronting Lender shall not be a U.S. Non-Qualified Lender for purposes of such U.S.
Fronting Loan. Immediately upon the making of a U.S. Fronting Loan on behalf of a U.S.
Non-Qualified Lender, such U.S. Non-Qualified Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from such Fronting Lender a risk
participation in one hundred percent (100%) of such U.S. Fronting Loan. The purchase of such
risk participation in each U.S. Fronting Loan by such U.S. Non-Qualified Lender shall satisfy
such U.S. Non-Qualified Lender’s funding requirements under Section 2.1.
Notwithstanding any other provision herein, no more than five (5) Credit Extensions that
utilize U.S. Fronting Loans shall be made during any calendar month.
2.2.2 Election of Fronting Lenders. (a) Upon a request for a U.S. Committed
Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.3 in an Alternative Currency, or to a TMK, with
respect to which there are U.S. Non-Qualified Lenders, there shall be a Fronting Lender
Election. If the Fronting Lenders based on the limitations set forth in the proviso to the
first sentence of Section 2.2.1 are unable to fund the entire requested U.S. Fronting
Loan in such Alternative Currency or to such TMK, then the applicable U.S. Borrower may
decrease the amount of the requested U.S. Committed Borrowing within one (1) Business Day
after notice by U.S. Funding Agent of such limitation. If such U.S. Borrower does not reduce
its request for a U.S. Committed Borrowing to an amount equal to or less than the
Global Senior Credit Agreement
59
available Fronting Commitment subject to the limitation set forth in the proviso to the
first sentence in Section 2.2.1, then the requested U.S. Committed Loan shall not be
made by U.S. Lenders.
(b) Upon a request for a U.S. Committed Borrowing in accordance with
Section 2.3 (other than in an Alternative Currency) to a Foreign Borrower
(other than with respect to a TMK as set forth in paragraph (a) above) with
respect to which there are U.S. Non-Qualified Lenders, there shall be a Fronting
Lender Election. If there are no available Fronting Lenders based on the
limitations set forth in the proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.2.1
to fund the entire requested U.S. Fronting Loan to such Foreign Borrower, then the
applicable U.S. Borrower may decrease the amount of the requested U.S. Committed
Borrowing within one (1) Business Day after notice by U.S. Funding Agent of such
limitation. If such U.S. Borrower does not reduce its request for a U.S. Committed
Borrowing to an amount equal to or less than the available Fronting Commitment
subject to the limitation set forth in the proviso to the first sentence in
Section 2.2.1, then (x) the requested U.S. Committed Loan shall be deemed to
be reduced to the available Fronting Commitments and (y) the applicable U.S.
Borrower shall be deemed to have requested an additional U.S. Committed Loan in the
amount of the excess of the requested U.S. Committed Loan over the available
Fronting Commitments which shall be made by U.S. Lenders without the utilization of
any Fronting Loans.
2.2.3 Refinancing of the U.S. Fronting Loans.
(a) (i) On the Trigger Date, U.S. Funding Agent shall notify each U.S.
Non-Qualified Lender of its obligation to fund its participation in each
applicable U.S. Fronting Loan. Each applicable U.S. Non-Qualified Lender
shall make the amount of its participation in each applicable U.S. Fronting
Loan specified in such notice available to U.S. Funding Agent in Same Day
Funds for the account of the applicable Fronting Lender at U.S. Funding
Agent’s Office for payments in the same currency as the applicable U.S.
Fronting Loan not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such
notice.
(ii) To the extent that a U.S. Non-Qualified Lender that has a risk
participation in a U.S. Fronting Loan assigns all or part of its interest in
such risk participation under Section 16.6 to a U.S. Qualified
Lender for purposes of such U.S. Fronting Loan, then such U.S. Qualified
Lender shall make the amount of its assigned participation in such U.S.
Fronting Loan available to U.S. Funding Agent in Same Day Funds for the
account of the applicable Fronting Lender at U.S. Funding Agent’s Office for
payments in the same currency as the applicable U.S. Fronting Loan not later
than 1:00 p.m. on the third (3rd) Business Day following the
effective date of the assignment.
Global Senior Credit Agreement
60
(b) If any applicable U.S. Lender fails to make available to any Fronting
Lender any amount required to be paid by such U.S. Lender pursuant to the foregoing
provisions of this Section 2.2.3 by the time specified in
Section 2.2.3(a), such Fronting Lender shall be entitled to recover from
such U.S. Lender (acting through U.S. Funding Agent), on demand, such amount in the
same currency as the applicable U.S. Fronting Loan with interest thereon for the
period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is
immediately available to such Fronting Lender at a rate per annum equal to the
applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. A certificate of a Fronting
Lender submitted to any applicable U.S. Lender (through U.S. Funding Agent) with
respect to any amount owing under this clause (b) shall be conclusive absent
manifest error.
(c) Each applicable U.S. Lender’s obligation to purchase and fund risk
participations in U.S. Fronting Loans pursuant to this Section 2.2.3 shall
be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance,
including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which
such U.S. Lender may have against the applicable Fronting Lender, any U.S. Borrower
or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of
a Default, or (iii) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar
to any of the foregoing. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or
otherwise impair the obligation of any U.S. Borrower to repay any Fronting Lender,
together with interest as provided herein.
(d) At any time after any U.S. Lender has purchased and funded a risk
participation in a U.S. Fronting Loan, if the applicable Fronting Lender receives
any payment on account of such U.S. Fronting Loan, such Fronting Lender will
distribute to such U.S. Lender such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of
interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such U.S. Lender’s
participation was funded) in the same funds and currency as those received by such
Fronting Lender.
(e) If any payment received by any Fronting Lender (and paid to a U.S. Lender)
in respect of principal or interest on any U.S. Fronting Loan is required to be
returned by such Fronting Lender under any of the circumstances described in
Section 16.5 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such
Fronting Lender in its direction), such U.S. Lender shall pay to such Fronting
Lender in the applicable currency of such Fronting Loan the amount of such payment
in respect of such U.S. Fronting Loan on demand of U.S. Funding Agent, plus
interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned,
at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate. U.S. Funding Agent will
make such demand upon the request of the applicable Fronting Lender. The
obligations of the applicable U.S. Lenders under this clause shall survive the
payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
Global Senior Credit Agreement
61
2.2.4 Payments for Account of the applicable Fronting Lender. Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, until the applicable U.S. Lender funds its risk
participation pursuant to this Section 2.2 to refinance such U.S. Lender’s applicable
U.S. Fronting Loan, all payments made hereunder in respect of the portion of any U.S.
Committed Loans that was funded in part by a Fronting Lender on behalf of such U.S. Lender
shall be solely for the account of the applicable Fronting Lender.
2.2.5 Defaulting Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Fronting Lender shall
be required to make a U.S. Fronting Loan on behalf of a U.S. Non-Qualified Lender that is a
Defaulting Lender at the time of the receipt by U.S. Funding Agent of the applicable U.S.
Committed Loan Notice. In addition, to the extent (a) a U.S. Fronting Loan is outstanding,
(b) a U.S. Non-Qualified Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, and (c) the applicable Fronting
Lender makes a demand for repayment to the applicable U.S. Borrower, then such U.S. Borrower
shall repay such U.S. Fronting Loan (i) on or before the earlier of (A) thirty (30) days
following receipt of such demand or (B) the fifth (5th) day following the last day
of the applicable Interest Period ending after receipt of such demand, or (ii) if no Interest
Period is in effect with respect to such U.S. Fronting Loan, within ten (10) days following
receipt of such demand. If any such U.S. Fronting Loan is not repaid in full on the last day
of an Interest Period (if applicable or required under clause (i)(B) above), subject
to Section 8.4.2, such U.S. Fronting Loan shall bear interest at the Money Market
Rate plus the Applicable Margin until such payment is due hereunder.
2.3 U.S. Committed Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of U.S. Committed Loans.
2.3.1 Procedures for U.S. Committed Borrowings. Each U.S. Committed Borrowing,
each conversion of U.S. Committed Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of
Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be made upon the requesting U.S. Borrower’s irrevocable notice
to U.S. Funding Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by
U.S. Funding Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (a) three (3) Business Days (five (5) Business
Days in the case of a Foreign Borrower) prior to the requested date of any U.S. Committed
Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Dollars,
(b) four (4) Business Days (five (5) Business Days in the case of a Foreign Borrower) prior to
the requested date of any U.S. Committed Borrowing denominated in any Alternative Currency of
the U.S. Tranche or any continuation or conversion of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in
any Alternative Currency of the U.S. Tranche, and (c) one (1) Business Day (five (5) Business
Days in the case of a Foreign Borrower) prior to the requested date of any U.S. Committed
Borrowing of Base Rate Committed Loans or of any conversion of Eurocurrency Rate Loans
denominated in Dollars to Base Rate Committed Loans. Each telephonic notice by the requesting
U.S. Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.3.1 must be confirmed promptly by delivery to
U.S. Funding Agent of a written U.S. Committed Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed
by a Responsible Officer of such U.S. Borrower. Each U.S. Committed Borrowing of, conversion
to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount permitted by
Section 8.1.1. Except as provided in Sections 7.3 and 2.5.3, each
U.S. Committed Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Committed Loans shall be in a principal
amount permitted by Section 8.1.1. Each U.S. Committed
Global Senior Credit Agreement
62
Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i) the jurisdiction of the
applicable U.S. Borrower and whether such Borrower is a Foreign Borrower, (ii) whether such
U.S. Borrower is requesting a U.S. Committed Borrowing, a conversion of U.S. Committed Loans
from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, (iii) the requested
date of the U.S. Committed Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which
shall be a Business Day), (iv) the principal amount of U.S. Committed Loans to be borrowed,
converted or continued, (v) the Type of U.S. Committed Loans to be borrowed or to which
existing U.S. Committed Loans are to be converted, (vi) if applicable, the duration of the
Interest Period with respect thereto, and (vii) the currency of the U.S. Committed Loans to be
borrowed or continued. If the requesting U.S. Borrower fails to specify a currency in a U.S.
Committed Loan Notice requesting a U.S. Committed Borrowing, then the U.S. Committed Loans so
requested shall be made in Dollars. If the requesting U.S. Borrower fails to specify a Type
of U.S. Committed Loan in a U.S. Committed Loan Notice or if the requesting U.S. Borrower
fails to give a timely notice requesting a continuation, then the applicable U.S. Committed
Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans; provided that in the case of
a failure to timely request a continuation of U.S. Committed Loans denominated in an
Alternative Currency of the U.S. Tranche, such U.S. Committed Loans shall be continued as
Eurocurrency Rate Loans in their original currency with an Interest Period of one (1) month.
Any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the
Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurocurrency Rate Loans. If the
requesting U.S. Borrower requests a U.S. Committed Borrowing of, conversion to, or
continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans in any such U.S. Committed Loan Notice, but fails to
specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one (1)
month. No U.S. Committed Loan may be converted into or continued as a U.S. Committed Loan
denominated in a different currency, but instead must be repaid in the original currency of
such U.S. Committed Loan and reborrowed in the other currency.
2.3.2 Funding of U.S. Committed Loans. Following receipt of a U.S. Committed
Loan Notice, U.S. Funding Agent shall promptly notify each U.S. Lender of the amount and
currency of its Applicable Tranche Percentage of the applicable U.S. Committed Borrowing, and
if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the applicable U.S.
Borrower, U.S. Funding Agent shall notify each U.S. Lender of the details of any automatic
conversion to Base Rate Loans, or continuation of U.S. Committed Loans denominated in a
currency other than Dollars, in each case as described in Section 2.3.1. In the case
of a U.S. Committed Borrowing, each U.S. Qualified Lender and the applicable Fronting Lender,
if any, shall make the amount of its U.S. Committed Loan available to U.S. Funding Agent in
Same Day Funds at U.S. Funding Agent’s Office for the applicable currency not later than 1:00
p.m., in the case of any U.S. Committed Loan denominated in Dollars, and not later than the
Applicable Time specified by U.S. Funding Agent in the case of any U.S. Committed Loan in an
Alternative Currency under the U.S. Tranche, in each case on the Business Day specified in the
applicable U.S. Committed Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set
forth in Section 10.2 (and, if such U.S. Committed Borrowing is the initial Credit
Extension, Section 10.1), U.S. Funding Agent shall make all funds so received
available to the applicable U.S. Borrower in like funds as received by U.S. Funding Agent
either by (a) crediting the account of such U.S. Borrower on the books of U.S. Funding Agent
with the amount of such funds or (b) wire transfer of
Global Senior Credit Agreement
63
such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably
acceptable to) U.S. Funding Agent by such U.S. Borrower; provided that if, on the date
the U.S. Committed Loan Notice with respect to such U.S. Committed Borrowing denominated in
Dollars is given by such U.S. Borrower, such U.S. Borrower has outstanding U.S. L/C
Borrowings, then the proceeds of such U.S. Committed Borrowing, first, shall be
applied to the payment in full of such U.S. L/C Borrowings, and, second, shall be made
available to the applicable U.S. Borrower as provided above.
2.3.3 Certain Continuations and Conversions. Except as otherwise provided
herein, a Eurocurrency Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an
Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Rate Loan. During the existence of a Default, the U.S.
Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice to the U.S. Borrowers (which notice may be
revoked at the option of the U.S. Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of
Section 16.1) declare that (a) no U.S. Loans denominated in Dollars may be requested
as, converted to or continued as Eurocurrency Rate Loans, and (b) no U.S. Loans denominated in
an Alternative Currency may be requested or continued as Eurocurrency Rate Loans, other than
as Eurocurrency Rate Loan with an Interest Period of one (1) month.
2.3.4 Notice of Rates. U.S. Funding Agent shall promptly notify the applicable
U.S. Borrower and U.S. Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for
Eurocurrency Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate. At any time that Base Rate
Loans are outstanding, U.S. Funding Agent shall notify the applicable U.S. Borrower and U.S.
Lenders of any change in U.S. Funding Agent’s “prime rate” used in determining the Base Rate
promptly following the public announcement of such change.
2.3.5 Number of Interest Periods. After giving effect to all U.S. Committed
Borrowings, all conversions of U.S. Committed Loans from one Type to the other, and all
continuations of U.S. Committed Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than twelve
(12) Interest Periods in effect with respect to U.S. Committed Loans.
2.4 U.S. Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (a) each
U.S. L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of U.S. Lenders set forth in this
Section 2.4 and Article VII, (i) from time to time on any Business Day during the
Extended Availability Period, to issue U.S. Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars for the
account of any U.S. Borrower or any Eligible Affiliate, and to amend or extend U.S. Letters of
Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with Section 7.2, and (ii) to honor drawings
under the applicable U.S. Letters of Credit; and (b) U.S. Lenders severally agree to participate in
U.S. Letters of Credit issued for the account of any U.S. Borrower or any Eligible Affiliates and
any drawings thereunder; provided that after giving effect to any U.S. L/C Credit Extension
with respect to any U.S. Letter of Credit, (x) the U.S. Total Outstandings shall not exceed the
U.S. Aggregate Commitments, (y) the U.S. Credit Exposure of any U.S. Lender shall not exceed such
U.S. Lender’s U.S. Commitment, and (z) the U.S. Outstanding Amount of the U.S. L/C Obligations
shall not exceed the U.S. Letter of Credit Sublimit. Within the foregoing limits, any U.S.
Borrower’s ability to obtain U.S. Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly each
U.S. Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain U.S. Letters of Credit to replace U.S.
Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed. All U.S. Existing
Letters of Credit that were originally issued for the account of a
Global Senior Credit Agreement
64
Person that is not a U.S. Borrower shall, immediately upon the effectiveness hereof, be deemed
to have been issued pursuant hereto for the account of the applicable U.S. Borrower identified as
the “Account Obligor” on Schedule 2.4(a) (which U.S. Borrower hereby assumes all U.S. L/C
Obligations with respect to such U.S. Existing Letter of Credit), and from and after the Closing
Date shall be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions hereof. On and after the Initial
Maturity Date, each outstanding Canadian Letter of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued under
the U.S. Tranche to the extent provided in Section 3.5.
2.5 U.S. Swing Line Loans.
2.5.1 The U.S. Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein,
U.S. Swing Line Lender agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other U.S. Lenders set
forth in this Section 2.5, to make loans in Dollars (each such loan, a “U.S. Swing
Line Loan”) to any Domestic Borrower under the U.S. Tranche from time to time on any
Business Day during the Extended Availability Period in an aggregate amount not to exceed at
any time outstanding the amount of the U.S. Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that
such U.S. Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Applicable Tranche Percentage of the U.S.
Outstanding Amount of U.S. Committed Loans and U.S. L/C Obligations of the U.S. Lender acting
as U.S. Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of such U.S. Lender’s U.S. Commitment;
provided that after giving effect to any U.S. Swing Line Loan, (a) the U.S. Total
Outstandings shall not exceed the U.S. Aggregate Commitments and (b) the U.S. Credit Exposure
of any U.S. Lender shall not exceed such U.S. Lender’s U.S. Commitment, and provided,
further, that no U.S. Borrower shall use the proceeds of any U.S. Swing Line Loan to
refinance any other outstanding U.S. Swing Line Loan. Within the foregoing limits, each
Domestic Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.5, prepay under Section 2.6,
and reborrow under this Section 2.5. Each U.S. Swing Line Loan shall be a Money
Market Rate Loan. Immediately upon the making of a U.S. Swing Line Loan, each U.S. Lender
shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from U.S.
Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such U.S. Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the
product of such U.S. Lender’s Applicable Tranche Percentage times the amount of such
U.S. Swing Line Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no U.S. Swing Line Loan shall be
made to any Foreign Borrower under the U.S. Tranche, and (ii) U.S. Swing Line Lender shall
have no obligation to make any U.S. Swing Line Loan if any U.S. Lender has failed to fund any
amount required under Section 2.5.3, unless such failure has been cured, or is at the
time of making any U.S. Swing Line Loan a Defaulting Lender, unless U.S. Swing Line Lender has
entered into arrangements satisfactory to U.S. Swing Line Lender, in its sole discretion, with
the applicable Borrower or such U.S. Lender to eliminate U.S. Swing Line Lender’s risk with
respect to such U.S. Lender.
2.5.2 Borrowing Procedures. Each U.S. Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon
the requesting U.S. Borrower’s irrevocable notice to U.S. Swing Line Lender and U.S. Funding
Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by U.S. Swing Line
Lender and U.S. Funding Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and
shall specify (a) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $500,000, and (b) the
requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day. Each such telephonic notice must be
confirmed promptly by delivery to U.S. Swing
Global Senior Credit Agreement
65
Line Lender and U.S. Funding Agent of a written U.S. Swing Line Loan Notice,
appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the requesting U.S. Borrower.
Promptly after receipt by U.S. Swing Line Lender of any telephonic U.S. Swing Line Loan
Notice, U.S. Swing Line Lender will confirm with U.S. Funding Agent (by telephone or in
writing) that it has also received such U.S. Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, U.S. Swing
Line Lender will notify U.S. Funding Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents
thereof. Unless U.S. Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from
Global Administrative Agent, U.S. Funding Agent (including at the request of any U.S. Lender)
or any Credit Party prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed U.S. Swing Line Borrowing
(i) directing U.S. Swing Line Lender not to make such U.S. Swing Line Loan as a result of the
limitations set forth in the proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.5.1, or (ii)
that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Article X is not then
satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, U.S. Swing Line Lender will, not
later than 3:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such U.S. Swing Line Loan Notice, make
the amount of its U.S. Swing Line Loan available to the requesting U.S. Borrower.
2.5.3 Refinancing of U.S. Swing Line Loans.
(a) U.S. Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may
request, on behalf of the applicable U.S. Borrower (which hereby irrevocably
authorizes U.S. Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each U.S.
Lender make a Base Rate Committed Loan in an amount equal to such U.S. Lender’s
Applicable Tranche Percentage of the amount of the U.S. Swing Line Loans then
outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be
deemed to be a U.S. Committed Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance
with the requirements of Section 2.3, without regard to the minimum and
multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Committed Loans,
but subject to the unutilized portion of the U.S. Aggregate Commitments and the
conditions set forth in Section 10.2. U.S. Swing Line Lender shall furnish
such U.S. Borrower with a copy of the applicable U.S. Committed Loan Notice promptly
after delivering such notice to U.S. Funding Agent. Each U.S. Lender shall make an
amount equal to its Applicable Tranche Percentage of the amount specified in such
U.S. Committed Loan Notice available to U.S. Funding Agent in Same Day Funds for the
account of U.S. Swing Line Lender at U.S. Funding Agent’s Office for
Dollar-denominated payments not later than 12:00 noon on the day specified in such
U.S. Committed Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.5.3(b), each
U.S. Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate
Committed Loan to such U.S. Borrower in such amount. U.S. Funding Agent shall remit
the funds so received to U.S. Swing Line Lender.
(b) If for any reason any U.S. Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by a U.S.
Committed Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.5.3(a), the request for
Base Rate Committed Loans submitted by U.S. Swing Line Lender as set forth herein
shall be deemed to be a request by U.S. Swing Line Lender that each U.S. Lender fund
its risk participation in the relevant U.S. Swing Line Loan and each
Global Senior Credit Agreement
66
U.S. Lender’s payment to U.S. Funding Agent for the account of U.S. Swing Line
Lender pursuant to Section 2.5.3(a) shall be deemed payment in respect of
such participation.
(c) If any U.S. Lender fails to make available to U.S. Funding Agent for the
account of U.S. Swing Line Lender any amount (the “Unfunded U.S. Swing Line
Amount”) required to be paid by such U.S. Lender pursuant to the foregoing
provisions of this Section 2.5.3 by the time specified in
Section 2.5.3(a), (i) U.S. Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover
from such U.S. Lender (acting through U.S. Funding Agent), on demand, such amount
with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the
date on which such payment is immediately available to U.S. Swing Line Lender at a
rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect;
and (ii) for the avoidance of doubt, the Unfunded U.S. Swing Line Amount shall
become due and payable on the date specified in Section 8.3(d)(i). A
certificate of U.S. Swing Line Lender submitted to any U.S. Lender (through U.S.
Funding Agent) with respect to any amount owing under this clause (c) shall
be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d) Each U.S. Lender’s obligation to make U.S. Committed Loans or to purchase
and fund risk participations in U.S. Swing Line Loans pursuant to this
Section 2.5.3 shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected
by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or
other right which any Lender may have against U.S. Swing Line Lender, any U.S.
Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or
continuance of a Default, or (iii) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether
or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that each U.S. Lender’s
obligation to make U.S. Committed Loans pursuant to this Section 2.5.3 is
subject to the conditions set forth in Section 10.2. No such funding of
risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of any U.S.
Borrower to repay U.S. Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.
2.5.4 Repayment of Participations.
(a) At any time after any U.S. Lender has purchased and funded a risk
participation in a U.S. Swing Line Loan, if U.S. Swing Line Lender receives any
payment on account of such U.S. Swing Line Loan, U.S. Swing Line Lender will
distribute to such U.S. Lender its Applicable Tranche Percentage of such payment
(appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of
time during which such U.S. Lender’s risk participation was funded) in the same
funds as those received by U.S. Swing Line Lender.
(b) If any payment received by U.S. Swing Line Lender in respect of principal
or interest on any U.S. Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by U.S. Swing
Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 16.5
(including pursuant to any settlement entered into by U.S. Swing Line Lender in its
discretion), each U.S. Lender shall pay to U.S. Swing Line Lender its
Global Senior Credit Agreement
67
Applicable Tranche Percentage thereof on demand of U.S. Funding Agent,
plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount
is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate. U.S.
Funding Agent will make such demand upon the request of U.S. Swing Line Lender. The
obligations of U.S. Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of
the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
2.5.5 Interest for Account of U.S. Swing Line Lender. U.S. Swing Line Lender
shall be responsible for invoicing the applicable U.S. Borrowers for interest on the U.S.
Swing Line Loans. Until a U.S. Lender funds its Base Rate Committed Loan or risk
participation pursuant to this Section 2.5 to refinance such U.S. Lender’s Applicable
Tranche Percentage of any U.S. Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such U.S. Lender’s
Applicable Tranche Percentage shall be solely for the account of U.S. Swing Line Lender.
2.5.6 Payments Directly to U.S. Swing Line Lender. Each U.S. Borrower shall make
all payments of principal and interest in respect of the U.S. Swing Line Loans directly to
U.S. Swing Line Lender.
2.6 U.S. Prepayments.
2.6.1 Prepayments of Committed Loans. Each U.S. Borrower may, upon notice to
U.S. Funding Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay U.S. Committed Loans
in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (a) such notice must be
received by U.S. Funding Agent, not later than 11:00 a.m. (i) three (3) Business Days prior to
any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, and (ii) one (1) Business Day prior to any
date of prepayment of any Base Rate Committed Loans; and (b) any prepayment of U.S. Committed
Loans shall be in a principal amount permitted by Section 8.1.2 or, if less, the
entire principal amount thereof then outstanding; provided that if U.S. Lenders have
made any U.S. Committed Loans pursuant to Section 2.5.3 or 7.3.2, then the
applicable U.S. Borrower may make a prepayment in any other amount so long as, after giving
effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of all Base Rate Committed Borrowings is in the
principal amount of $1,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of $100,000. Each such notice
shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Committed Loans to be
prepaid and, if Eurocurrency Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such
Eurocurrency Rate Loans. U.S. Funding Agent will promptly notify each U.S. Lender and each
Fronting Lender, as applicable, of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such
U.S. Lender’s Applicable Tranche Percentage of such prepayment. If such notice is given by
such U.S. Borrower, then such U.S. Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount
specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any
prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the
amount prepaid, together with any additional amount required pursuant to Section 9.5.
Subject to Sections 2.2.4 and 8.8.3, each such prepayment shall be applied to
the U.S. Committed Loans of U.S. Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable
Tranche Percentages.
2.6.2 Prepayments of Swing Line Loans. The applicable U.S. Borrower may, upon
notice to U.S. Swing Line Lender (with a copy to U.S. Funding Agent), at any time or
Global Senior Credit Agreement
68
from time to time, voluntarily prepay any U.S. Swing Line Loans in whole or in part
without premium or penalty; provided that (a) such notice must be received by U.S.
Swing Line Lender and U.S. Funding Agent not later than 12:00 noon on the date of the
prepayment, and (b) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $500,000.
Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment. If such notice is
given by such U.S. Borrower, such U.S. Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment
amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.
2.6.3 Prepayments Due to Currency Fluctuations. U.S. Funding Agent shall
calculate the Dollar Equivalent of the U.S. Total Outstandings (but only with respect to
Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency) on each applicable Revaluation
Date. If on the Revaluation Date that occurs on the first (1st) Business Day of
each calendar month, or such other times as U.S. Funding Agent may determine in its reasonable
discretion, such calculation reflects that, as of such Revaluation Date, the Dollar Equivalent
of the U.S. Total Outstandings exceeds an amount equal to one hundred and five percent (105%)
of the U.S. Aggregate Commitments then in effect, then, within two (2) Business Days after
notice of such calculation from U.S. Funding Agent to ProLogis, U.S. Borrowers shall prepay
U.S. Loans and/or Cash Collateralize U.S. L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount sufficient to
reduce the U.S. Total Outstandings as of such date of payment to an amount not exceeding one
hundred percent (100%) of the U.S. Aggregate Commitments then in effect; provided that
solely for purposes of measuring compliance with this Section 2.6.3, the amount of
Cash Collateral delivered to Collateral Agent under this Section 2.6.3 shall be deemed
to have reduced the U.S. Total Outstandings. Subject to Section 2.2.4, each such
prepayment shall be applied to the U.S. Committed Loans of U.S. Lenders in accordance with
their respective Applicable Tranche Percentages.
2.6.4 Other Prepayments. If, on any date other than the Initial Maturity Date,
the Dollar Equivalent of the U.S. Total Outstandings exceeds the U.S. Aggregate Commitments
then in effect and such excess is not due to a currency exchange fluctuation covered under
Section 2.6.3, then, within two (2) Business Days after notice from U.S. Funding Agent
to ProLogis, U.S. Borrowers shall prepay the U.S. Committed Loans and/or U.S. Borrowers shall
Cash Collateralize the U.S. L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce the
Dollar Equivalent of such U.S. Total Outstandings as of such date of payment to an amount not
to exceed the U.S. Aggregate Commitments then in effect, without regard to any minimum or
multiples specified in Section 8.1.2 with respect to prepayments. Subject to
Section 2.2.4, each such prepayment shall be applied to the U.S. Committed Loans of
U.S. Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Tranche Percentages.

Day during the Initial Availability Period, in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time
outstanding the
Global Senior Credit Agreement
69
amount of such Canadian Lender’s Canadian Commitment; provided that after giving
effect to any Canadian Committed Borrowing, (a) the Canadian Total Outstandings shall not exceed
the Canadian Aggregate Commitments, and (b) the Canadian Credit Exposure of any Canadian Lender
shall not exceed such Canadian Lender’s Canadian Commitment. Within the limits of each Canadian

may be ABR Rate Loans, BA Rate Loans, or Eurocurrency Rate Loans, as further provided herein.
3.2 Canadian Committed Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Canadian Committed Loans.
3.2.1 Procedures for Canadian Committed Borrowings. Each Canadian Committed
Borrowing, each conversion of Canadian Committed Loans from one Type to the other, and each
continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or BA Rate Loans shall be made upon the requesting
Canadian Borrower’s irrevocable notice to Canadian Funding Agent, which may be given by
telephone. Each such notice must be received by Canadian Funding Agent not later than 11:00
a.m., Toronto time, (a) three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of any Canadian
Committed Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or BA Rate

(b) one (1) Business Day prior to the requested date of any Canadian Committed Borrowing of
ABR Rate Loans. Each telephonic notice by the requesting Canadian Borrower pursuant to this
Section 3.2.1 must be confirmed promptly by delivery to Canadian Funding Agent of a
written Canadian Committed Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible
Officer of the requesting Canadian Borrower. Each Canadian Committed Borrowing of, conversion
to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or BA Rate Loan shall be in a principal amount
permitted by Section 8.1.1. Each Canadian Committed Borrowing of or conversion to ABR

Committed Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i) the jurisdiction of
the applicable Canadian Borrower and whether such Borrower is a Foreign Borrower, (ii) whether
the applicable Canadian Borrower is requesting a Canadian Committed Borrowing, a conversion of
Canadian Committed Loan from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Eurocurrency Rate

Committed Loans shall be made as, or converted to, ABR Rate Loans. Any automatic conversion
to ABR Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect
with respect to the applicable Eurocurrency Rate Loans or BA Rate Loans. If the requesting
Canadian Borrower requests a Canadian Committed Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation
of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or BA Rate Loan in any such Canadian
Global Senior Credit Agreement
70
Committed Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have
specified an Interest Period of one month.
3.2.2 Funding of Canadian Committed Loans. Following receipt of a Canadian
Committed Loan Notice, Canadian Funding Agent shall promptly notify each Canadian Lender of
the amount of its Applicable Tranche Percentage of the applicable Canadian Committed Loans,
and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the applicable Canadian
Borrower, Canadian Funding Agent shall notify each Canadian Lender of the details of any
automatic conversion to ABR Rate Loans. In the case of a Canadian Committed Borrowing, each
Canadian Lender shall make the amount of its Canadian Committed Loan available to Canadian
Funding Agent in Same Day Funds in Canadian Dollars at Canadian Funding Agent’s Office not
later than 12:00 noon, Toronto time, on the Business Day specified in the applicable Canadian

Section 10.2 (and, if such Canadian Committed Borrowing is the initial Credit
Extension, Section 10.1), Canadian Funding Agent shall make all funds so received
available to the applicable Canadian Borrower in like funds as received by Canadian Funding
Agent either by (a) crediting the account of such Canadian Borrower on the books of Canadian
Funding Agent with the amount of such funds or (b) wire transfer of such funds, in each case
in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) Canadian Funding
Agent by such Canadian Borrower; provided that if, on the date the Canadian Committed
Loan Notice with respect to such Canadian Committed Borrowing is given by such Canadian
Borrower, such Canadian Borrower has outstanding Canadian L/C Borrowings, then the proceeds of
such Canadian Committed Borrowing, first, shall be applied to the payment in full of
such Canadian L/C Borrowings, and, second, shall be made available to the applicable
Canadian Borrower as provided above.
3.2.3 Certain Continuations and Conversions. Except as otherwise provided
herein, a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or BA Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the
last day of an Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Rate Loan or such BA Rate Loan. During
the existence of a Default, no Canadian Committed Loans may be requested as, converted to or
continued as Eurocurrency Rate Loans or BA Rate Loans without the consent of the Canadian
Required Lenders.
3.2.4 Notice of Rates. Canadian Funding Agent shall promptly notify the
applicable Canadian Borrower and Canadian Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any

expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed. For purposes of this Section 3.3, a
transfer of a Canadian Letter of Credit to the U.S. Tranche shall not be conditioned on the
satisfaction of issuance provisions for such Letter of Credit under Sections 7.1.1 and
7.1.2.
3.4 Canadian Prepayments.
3.4.1 Voluntary Prepayments. Each Canadian Borrower may, upon notice to Canadian
Funding Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Canadian Committed Loans in

will promptly notify each Canadian Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the
amount of such Canadian Lender’s Applicable Tranche Percentage of such prepayment. If such
notice is given by such Canadian Borrower, then such Canadian Borrower shall make such
prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the
date specified therein. Any prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or BA Rate Loan shall be

Canadian Committed Loans of Canadian Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable
Tranche Percentages.
3.4.2 Other Prepayments. If, on any date, the Canadian Total Outstandings exceed
the Canadian Aggregate Commitments then in effect, then, within two (2) Business Days after
notice from Canadian Funding Agent to ProLogis, Canadian Borrowers shall prepay the Canadian

Obligations in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce such Canadian
Global Senior Credit Agreement

Maturity Date, (a) the Canadian Commitments of all Canadian Lenders shall be immediately
terminated; (b) the Canadian Total Outstandings (other than with respect to any outstanding

(d) to the extent that a Default exists or there is not sufficient availability under the U.S.
Letter of Credit Sublimit to transfer all of the Canadian Letters of Credit to the U.S. Tranche,
then each Canadian Letter of Credit that may not be transferred in whole to the U.S. Tranche shall
be Cash Collateralized under the Canadian Tranche in accordance with Section 7.7, until
there is sufficient availability under the U.S. Letter of Credit Sublimit for Global Administrative

EURO COMMITMENTS AND EURO CREDIT EXTENSIONS
4.1 Euro Committed Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Euro Lender severally agrees to make
loans (each such loan, a “Euro Committed Loan”) to each Euro Borrower in Euro or in one or
more Alternative Currencies of the Euro Tranche, subject to Section 4.2, from time to time,
on any Business Day during the Initial Availability Period with respect to such Euro Lender’s
Initial Commitment, and during the Extended Availability Period with respect to such Euro Lender’s
Extended Commitment, as applicable, under the Euro Tranche, in an aggregate amount not to exceed at
any time outstanding the amount of such Euro Lender’s Euro Commitment; provided that after
giving effect to any Euro Committed Borrowing, (a) the Euro Total Outstandings shall not exceed the
Euro Aggregate Commitments, and (b) the Euro Credit Exposure of any Euro Lender shall not exceed
such Euro Lender’s Euro Commitment. Within the limits of each Euro Lender’s Euro Commitment, Euro
Borrowers may borrow under this Section 4.1, prepay under Section 4.6, and reborrow
under this Section 4.1. Euro Committed Loans may be Eurocurrency Rate Loans or, solely
upon the occurrence of an event described in Section 9.3, Substitute Rate Loans, as further
provided herein.
4.2 Euro Fronting Loans.
4.2.1 Euro Fronting Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this
Section 4.2, upon a request for a Euro Committed Borrowing in an Alternative Currency
or to a Foreign Borrower in compliance with Section 4.1, each Fronting Lender agrees,
subject to the limitations set forth below, to fund its Fronting Portion of such Euro
Committed Borrowing in the requested currency on behalf of each applicable Euro Non-Qualified
Lender with respect to such Euro Committed Borrowing and in the amount of each such Euro Non-Qualified Lender’s Applicable Tranche Percentage for such Euro
Committed Loan (each a “Euro Fronting Loan”), notwithstanding the fact that such Euro
Global Senior Credit Agreement
73
Fronting Loan, when aggregated with the Euro Credit Exposure of such Fronting Lender, may
exceed the amount of such Fronting Lender’s Euro Commitment; provided that (a) after
giving effect to any Euro Fronting Loan, the aggregate Dollar Equivalent amount of all
Fronting Loans funded by such Fronting Lender shall not exceed the Fronting Commitment of such
Fronting Lender, and (b) such Fronting Lender shall not be a Euro Non-Qualified Lender with
respect to such Euro Fronting Loan. Immediately upon the making of a Euro Fronting Loan on
behalf of a Euro Non-Qualified Lender, such Euro Non-Qualified Lender shall be deemed to, and
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from such Fronting Lender a risk
participation in one hundred percent (100%) of such Euro Fronting Loan. The purchase of such
risk participation in each Euro Fronting Loan by such Euro Non-Qualified Lender shall satisfy
such Euro Non-Qualified Lender’s funding requirements under Section 4.1.
Notwithstanding any other provision herein, no more than five (5) Credit Extensions that
utilize Euro Fronting Loans shall be made during any calendar month.
4.2.2 Election of Fronting Lenders. (a) Upon a request for a Euro Committed
Borrowing in accordance with Section 4.3 in an Alternative Currency, or to a TMK, with
respect to which there are Euro Non-Qualified Lenders, there shall be a Fronting Lender
Election. If the Fronting Lenders based on the limitations set forth in the proviso to the
first sentence of Section 4.2.1 are unable to fund the entire requested Euro Fronting
Loan in such Alternative Currency or to such TMK, then the applicable Euro Borrower may
decrease the amount of the requested Euro Committed Borrowing within one (1) Business Day
after notice by Euro Funding Agent of such limitation. If such Euro Borrower does not reduce
its request for a Euro Committed Borrowing to an amount equal to or less than the available
Fronting Commitment subject to the limitation set forth in the proviso to the first sentence
in Section 4.2.1, then the requested Euro Committed Loan shall not be made by Euro
Lenders.
(b) Upon a request for a Euro Committed Borrowing(other than in an Alternative
Currency) in accordance with Section 4.3 to a Foreign Borrower (other than a
TMK as set forth in paragraph (a) above) with respect to which there are
Euro Non-Qualified Lenders, there shall be a Fronting Lender Election. If the
Fronting Lenders based on the limitations set forth in the proviso to the first
sentence of Section 4.2.1 are unable to fund the entire requested Euro
Fronting Loan to such Foreign Borrower, then the applicable Euro Borrower may
decrease the amount of the requested Euro Committed Borrowing within one (1)
Business Day after notice by Euro Funding Agent of such limitation. If such Euro
Borrower does not reduce its request for a Euro Committed Borrowing to an amount
equal to or less than the available Fronting Commitment subject to the limitation
set forth in the proviso to the first sentence in Section 4.2.1, then (x)
the requested Euro Committed Loan shall be deemed to be reduced to the available
Fronting Commitments and (y) the applicable Euro Borrower shall be deemed to have
requested an additional Euro Committed Loan in the amount of the excess of the
requested Euro Committed Loan over the available Fronting Commitments
which shall be made by Euro Lenders without the utilization of any Fronting Loans.

4.2.3 Refinancing of the Euro Fronting Loans.
(a) (i) On the Trigger Date, Euro Funding Agent shall notify each Euro
Non-Qualified Lender of its obligation to fund its participation in each
applicable Euro Fronting Loan. Each applicable Euro Non-Qualified Lender
shall make the amount of its participation in each applicable Euro Fronting
Loan specified in such notice available to Euro Funding Agent in Same Day
Funds for the account of the applicable Fronting Lender at Euro Funding
Agent’s Office for payments in the same currency as the applicable Euro
Fronting Loan not later than 10:00 a.m., Brussels time, on the Business Day
specified in such notice.
(ii) To the extent that a Euro Non-Qualified Lender that has a risk
participation in a Euro Fronting Loan assigns all or part of its interest in
such risk participation under Section 16.6 to a Euro Qualified
Lender for purposes of such Euro Fronting Loan, then such Euro Qualified
Lender shall make the amount of its assigned participation in such Euro
Fronting Loan available to Euro Funding Agent in Same Day Funds for the
account of the applicable Fronting Lender at Euro Funding Agent’s Office for
payments in the same currency as the applicable Euro Fronting Loan not later
than 1:00 p.m., Brussels time, on the third (3rd) Business Day
following the effective date of the assignment.
(b) If any applicable Euro Lender fails to make available to any Fronting
Lender any amount required to be paid by such Euro Lender pursuant to the foregoing
provisions of this Section 4.2.3 by the time specified in
Section 4.2.3(a), such Fronting Lender shall be entitled to recover from
such Euro Lender (acting through Euro Funding Agent), on demand, such amount in the
same currency as the applicable Euro Fronting Loan with interest thereon for the
period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is
immediately available to such Fronting Lender at a rate per annum equal to the
applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. A certificate of a Fronting
Lender submitted to any applicable Euro Lender (through Euro Funding Agent) with
respect to any amount owing under this clause (b) shall be conclusive absent
manifest error.
(c) Each applicable Euro Lender’s obligation to purchase and fund risk
participations in Euro Fronting Loans pursuant to this Section 4.2.3 shall
be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance,
including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which
such Euro Lender may have against the applicable Fronting Lender, any Euro Borrower
or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of
a Default, or (iii) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar
to any of the foregoing. No such funding of risk
participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of any Euro
Borrower to repay any Fronting Lender, together with interest as provided herein.
Global Senior Credit Agreement
75
(d) At any time after any Euro Lender has purchased and funded a risk
participation in a Euro Fronting Loan, if the applicable Fronting Lender receives
any payment on account of such Euro Fronting Loan, such Fronting Lender will
distribute to such Euro Lender such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of
interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Euro Lender’s
participation was funded) in the same funds and currency as those received by such
Fronting Lender.
(e) If any payment received by any Fronting Lender (and paid to a Euro Lender)
in respect of principal or interest on any Euro Fronting Loan is required to be
returned by such Fronting Lender under any of the circumstances described in
Section 16.5 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such
Fronting Lender in its direction), such Euro Lender shall pay to such Fronting
Lender in the applicable currency of such Euro Fronting Loan the amount of such
payment in respect of such Euro Fronting Loan on demand of Euro Funding Agent,
plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount
is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate. Euro
Funding Agent will make such demand upon the request of the applicable Fronting
Lender. The obligations of Euro Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment
in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
4.2.4 Payments for Account of the Applicable Fronting Lender. Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, until the applicable Euro Lender funds its risk
participation pursuant to this Section 4.2 to refinance such Euro Lender’s applicable
Euro Fronting Loan, all payments made hereunder in respect of the portion of any Euro
Committed Loan that was funded in part by a Fronting Lender on behalf of such Euro Lender
shall be solely for the account of the applicable Fronting Lender.
4.2.5 Defaulting Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Fronting Lender shall
be required to make a Euro Fronting Loan on behalf of a Euro Non-Qualified Lender that is a
Defaulting Lender at the time of the receipt by Euro Funding Agent of the applicable Euro
Committed Loan Notice. In addition, to the extent (a) a Euro Fronting Loan is outstanding,
(b) a Euro Non-Qualified Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, and (c) the applicable Fronting
Lender makes a demand for repayment to the applicable Euro Borrower, then such Euro Borrower
shall repay such Euro Fronting Loan (i) on or before the earlier of (A) thirty (30) days
following receipt of such demand or (B) the fifth (5th) day following the last day
of the applicable Interest Period ending after receipt of such demand, or (ii) if no Interest
Period is in effect with respect to such Euro Fronting Loan, within ten (10) days following
receipt of such demand. If any such Euro Fronting Loan is not repaid in full on the last day
of an Interest Period (if applicable or required under clause (i)(B) above), subject
to Section 8.4.2, such Euro Fronting Loan shall bear interest at the Money Market Rate
plus the Applicable Margin until such payment is due hereunder.

4.3 Euro Committed Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Euro Committed Loans.
4.3.1 Procedures for Euro Committed Borrowings. Each Euro Committed Borrowing,
each conversion of Euro Committed Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of
Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be made upon the requesting Euro Borrower’s irrevocable written
notice to Euro Funding Agent. Each such notice must be received by Euro Funding Agent not
later than 10:00 a.m., Brussels time, (a) three (3) Business Days (five (5) Business Days in
the case of a Foreign Borrower) prior to the requested date of any Euro Committed Borrowing
of, or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Euro, Sterling, or Dollars, and
(b) four (4) Business Days (five (5) Business Days in the case of a Foreign Borrower) prior to
the requested date of any Euro Committed Borrowing of, or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate
Loans denominated in Yen. Each Euro Committed Loan Notice must be in writing and
appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of such Euro Borrower. Each Euro
Committed Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be in a
principal amount permitted by Section 8.1.1. Each Euro Committed Loan Notice shall be
in writing and shall specify (i) the jurisdiction of the applicable Euro Borrower and whether
such Borrower is a Foreign Borrower, (ii) whether the applicable Euro Borrower is requesting a
Euro Committed Borrowing, a conversion of Euro Committed Loans from one Type to the other, or
a continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, (iii) the requested date of the Euro Committed
Borrowing or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iv) the
principal amount of Euro Committed Loans to be borrowed or continued, (v) the Type of Euro
Committed Loans to be borrowed, (vi) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with
respect thereto, and (vii) the currency of the Euro Committed Loans to be borrowed or
continued. If the requesting Euro Borrower fails to specify a currency in a Euro Committed
Loan Notice requesting a Borrowing, then the Committed Loans so requested shall be made in
Euro. If the requesting Euro Borrower fails to specify a Type of Euro Committed Loan in a
Euro Committed Loan Notice or if the requesting Euro Borrower fails to give a timely notice
requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Euro Committed Loans shall be
continued as Eurocurrency Rate Loans in their original currency with an Interest Period of one
(1) month. If the requesting Euro Borrower requests a Euro Committed Borrowing of, or
continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans in any such Euro Committed Loan Notice, but fails to
specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one (1)
month. No Euro Committed Loan may be continued as a Euro Committed Loan denominated in a
different currency, but instead must be repaid in the original currency of such Euro Committed
Loan and reborrowed in the other currency.
4.3.2 Funding of Euro Committed Loans. Following receipt of a Euro Committed
Loan Notice, Euro Funding Agent shall promptly notify each Euro Lender of the amount (and
currency) of its Applicable Tranche Percentage of the applicable Euro Committed Borrowings,
and if no timely notice of a continuation is provided by the applicable Euro Borrower, Euro
Funding Agent shall notify each Euro Lender of the details of any automatic continuations, in
each case as described in Section 4.3.1. In the case of a Euro Committed Borrowing,
each Euro Qualified Lender and the applicable Fronting Lender, if any, shall make the amount
of its Euro Committed Loan available to Euro Funding Agent
Global Senior Credit Agreement
77
in Same Day Funds at Euro Funding Agent’s Office for the applicable currency not later
than 10:00 a.m., Brussels time, in the case of any Euro Committed Loan denominated in any Euro
or Sterling, and not later than the Applicable Time specified by Euro Funding Agent in the
case of any Euro Committed Loan in an Alternative Currency, other than Sterling, under the
Euro Tranche, in each case on the Business Day specified in the applicable Euro Committed Loan
Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 10.2
(and, if such Euro Committed Borrowing is the initial Credit Extension, Section 10.1),
Euro Funding Agent shall make all funds so received available to the applicable Euro Borrower
in like funds as received by Euro Funding Agent either by (a) crediting the account of such
Euro Borrower on the books of Euro Funding Agent with the amount of such funds or (b) wire
transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and
reasonably acceptable to) Euro Funding Agent by such Euro Borrower; provided that if,
on the date a Euro Committed Loan Notice, with respect to a Euro Committed Borrowing
denominated in Euro or Sterling is given by the requesting Euro Borrower, such Borrower has
outstanding Euro L/C Borrowings denominated in such currency of such Borrowing, then the
proceeds of such Euro Committed Borrowing, first, shall be applied to the payment in
full of such Euro L/C Borrowings, and, second, shall be made available to the
requesting Euro Borrower as provided above.
4.3.3 Certain Continuations and Conversions. Except as otherwise provided
herein, a Eurocurrency Rate Loan may be continued only on the last day of an Interest Period
for such Eurocurrency Rate Loan. During the existence of a Default, the Euro Required Lenders
may at their option, by notice to the Euro Borrowers (which notice may be revoked at the
option of Euro Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 16.1) declare
that no Euro Loans may be requested or continued as Eurocurrency Rate Loans, other than as
Eurocurrency Rate Loan with an Interest Period of one (1) month.
4.3.4 Notice of Rates. Euro Funding Agent shall promptly notify each applicable
Euro Borrower and Euro Lender of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for
Eurocurrency Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate.
4.3.5 Number of Interest Periods. After giving effect to all Euro Committed
Borrowings and all continuations of Euro Committed Loans as the same Type, there shall not be
more than twelve (12) Interest Periods in effect with respect to Euro Committed Loans.
4.4 Euro Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (a) each
Euro L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of Euro Lenders set forth in this
Section 4.4 and Article VII, (i) from time to time on any Business Day during the
Extended Availability Period, to issue Euro Letters of Credit denominated in Euro or Sterling for
the account of any Euro Borrower or any Eligible Affiliate, and to amend or extend Euro Letters of
Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with Section 7.2, and (ii) to honor drawings
under the applicable Euro Letters of Credit; and (b) Euro Lenders severally agree to participate in
Euro Letters of Credit issued for the account of any Euro Borrower or any Eligible Affiliates and
any drawings thereunder; provided that after giving effect to any Euro L/C Credit
Extension with respect to any Euro Letter of Credit, (x) the Euro Total Outstandings shall not
exceed the Euro Aggregate Commitments, (y) the Euro Credit
Global Senior Credit Agreement
78
Exposure of any Euro Lender shall not exceed such Euro Lender’s Euro Commitment, and (z) the
Euro Outstanding Amount of the Euro L/C Obligations shall not exceed the Euro Letter of Credit
Sublimit. Within the foregoing limits, any Euro Borrower’s ability to obtain Euro Letters of
Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly each Euro Borrower may, during the foregoing
period, obtain Euro Letters of Credit to replace Euro Letters of Credit that have expired or that
have been drawn upon and reimbursed. All Euro Existing Letters of Credit that were originally
issued for the account of a Person that is not a Euro Borrower shall, immediately upon the
effectiveness hereof, be deemed to have been issued pursuant hereto for the account of the
applicable Euro Borrower identified as the “Account Obligor” on Schedule 2.4(b) (which Euro
Borrower hereby assumes all Euro L/C Obligations with respect to such Euro Existing Letter of
Credit), and from and after the Closing Date shall be subject to and governed by the terms and
conditions hereof.
4.5 Euro Swing Line Loans.
4.5.1 The Euro Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein,
Euro Swing Line Lender agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Euro Lenders set
forth in this Section 4.5, to make loans in Euro or Sterling (each such loan, a
“Euro Swing Line Loan”) to any Domestic Borrower under the Euro Tranche from
time to time on any Business Day during the Extended Availability Period in an aggregate
amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Euro Swing Line Sublimit,
notwithstanding the fact that such Euro Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Applicable
Tranche Percentage of the Euro Outstanding Amount of Euro Committed Loans and Euro L/C
Obligations of Euro Lender acting as Euro Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of such
Euro Lender’s Euro Commitment; provided that after giving effect to any Euro Swing
Line Loan, (i) the Euro Total Outstandings shall not exceed the Euro Aggregate Commitments,
and (ii) the Euro Credit Exposure of any Euro Lender shall not exceed such Euro Lender’s Euro
Commitment, and provided, further, that no Euro Borrower shall use the
proceeds of any Euro Swing Line Loan to refinance any other outstanding Euro Swing Line Loan.
Within the foregoing limits, each Euro Borrower may borrow under this Section 4.5,
prepay under Section 4.6, and reborrow under this Section 4.5. Each Euro
Swing Line Loan shall be a Money Market Rate Loan. Immediately upon the making of a Euro
Swing Line Loan, each Euro Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally agrees to, purchase from Euro Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such
Euro Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Euro Lender’s Applicable
Tranche Percentage times the amount of such Euro Swing Line Loan. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, (i) no Euro Swing Line Loan shall be made to any Foreign Borrower under the Euro
Tranche and (ii) Euro Swing Line Lender shall have no obligation to make any Euro Swing Line
Loan if any Euro Lender has failed to fund any amount required under Section 4.5.3,
unless such failure has been cured, or is at the time of making any Euro Swing Line Loan a
Defaulting Lender, unless Euro Swing Line Lender has entered into arrangements satisfactory to
Euro Swing Line Lender, in its sole discretion, with the applicable Borrower or such Euro
Lender to eliminate Euro Swing Line Lender’s risk with respect to such Euro Lender.
4.5.2 Borrowing Procedures. Each Euro Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon
the requesting Euro Borrower’s irrevocable notice to Euro Swing Line Lender and Euro Funding
Agent, which may only be given by written notice. Each such notice must
Global Senior Credit Agreement
79
be received by Euro Swing Line Lender and Euro Funding Agent not later than 10:00 a.m.,
Brussels time, on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (a) the amount to be
borrowed, which shall be a minimum of EUR 500,000 for a Euro denominated Euro Swing Line Loan
and £500,000 for a Sterling denominated Euro Swing Line Loan, and (b) the requested borrowing
date, which shall be a Business Day. Each such written Euro Swing Line Loan Notice shall be
appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the requesting Euro Borrower.
Promptly after receipt by Euro Swing Line Lender of any written Euro Swing Line Loan Notice,
Euro Swing Line Lender will confirm with Euro Funding Agent (by telephone or in writing) that
it has also received such Euro Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, Euro Swing Line Lender will
notify Euro Funding Agent (in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless Euro Swing Line Lender
has received notice (in writing) from Global Administrative Agent, Euro Funding Agent,
(including at the request of any Euro Lender) or any Credit Party prior to 2:00 p.m. (Brussels
time) on the date of the proposed Euro Swing Line Borrowing (i) directing Euro Swing Line
Lender not to make such Euro Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the
proviso to the first sentence of Section 4.5.1, or (ii) that one or more of the
applicable conditions specified in Article X is not then satisfied, then, subject to
the terms and conditions hereof, Euro Swing Line Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m.
(Brussels time) on the borrowing date specified in such Euro Swing Line Loan Notice, make the
amount of its Euro Swing Line Loan available to the requesting Euro Borrower.
4.5.3 Refinancing of Euro Swing Line Loans.
(a) Euro Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may
request, on behalf of the applicable Euro Borrower (which hereby irrevocably
authorizes Euro Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Euro
Lender make an Eurocurrency Rate Loan with an Interest Period of one (1) month
denominated in Euro or Sterling, as applicable, in an amount equal to such Euro
Lender’s Applicable Tranche Percentage of the amount of the Euro Swing Line Loans
then outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request
shall be deemed to be a Euro Committed Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in
accordance with the requirements of Section 4.3, without regard to the
minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Eurocurrency
Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Euro Aggregate Commitments
and the conditions set forth in Section 10.2. Euro Swing Line Lender shall
furnish to such Euro Borrower with a copy of the applicable Euro Committed Loan
Notice promptly after delivering such notice to Euro Funding Agent. To the extent
that the Euro Swing Line Loan is denominated in Sterling and there are Euro
Non-Qualified Lenders with respect to Sterling, then Euro Funding Agent may elect a
Fronting Lender in accordance with Section 4.2. Furthermore, to the extent
that there are no available Fronting Lenders, then such Euro Swing Line Loan shall
be converted to Euro based on the Euro Equivalent amount of such Euro Swing Line
Loan and refinanced as a Eurocurrency Rate Loan in Euro with an Interest Period of
one (1) month. Each Euro Qualified Lender shall make an amount equal to its
Applicable Tranche Percentage of the amount specified in such Euro Committed Loan
Notice available to Euro Funding Agent, and the applicable Fronting Lender, if any,
shall make available the Euro
Global Senior Credit Agreement
80
Fronting Loan in accordance with Section 4.2, in each case in Same Day
Funds for the account of Euro Swing Line Lender at Euro Funding Agent’s Office for
Euro or Sterling denominated payments, as applicable, not later than 1:00 p.m.
(Brussels time) on the day specified in such Euro Committed Loan Notice, whereupon,
subject to Section 4.5.3(b), each Euro Lender and each Fronting Lender that
so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Eurocurrency Rate Loan with
an Interest Period of one (1) month to such Euro Borrower in such amount and in Euro
or Sterling, as applicable. Euro Funding Agent shall remit the funds so received to
Euro Swing Line Lender.
(b) If for any reason any Euro Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a
Euro Committed Borrowing in accordance with Section 4.5.3(a), the request
for a Eurocurrency Rate Loan with an Interest Period of one (1) month submitted by
Euro Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by Euro
Swing Line Lender that each Euro Lender fund its risk participation in the relevant
Euro Swing Line Loan; provided that to the extent that a Euro Swing
Line Loan is denominated in Sterling and there are Euro Non-Qualified Lenders with
respect to Sterling, then the aggregate amount of the Euro Swing Line Loan shall be
converted to Euro based on the Euro Equivalent amount of such Euro Swing Line Loan
and shall bear interest at the Default Rate for a Eurocurrency Rate Loan with an
Interest Period of one (1) month, and each Euro Lender shall make a payment in
satisfaction of its participation obligations under this Section 4.5.3 in
Euro. Each Euro Lender’s payment to Euro Funding Agent for the account of Euro
Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 4.5.3(a) shall be deemed payment in
respect of such participation.
(c) If any Euro Lender fails to make available directly to Euro Funding Agent,
or purchase a risk participation in the applicable Euro Fronting Loan for the
account of Euro Swing Line Lender any amount (the “Unfunded Euro Swing Line
Amount”) required to be paid by such Euro Lender pursuant to the foregoing
provisions of this Section 4.5.3 by the time specified in
Section 4.5.3(a), (i) Euro Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover
from such Euro Lender (acting through Euro Funding Agent), on demand, such amount
with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the
date on which such payment is immediately available to Euro Swing Line Lender at a
rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect,
and (ii) for the avoidance of doubt, the Unfunded Euro Swing Line Amount shall
become due and payable on the date specified in Section 8.3(d)(i). A
certificate of Euro Swing Line Lender submitted to any Euro Lender (through Euro
Funding Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (c) shall
be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d) Each Euro Lender’s obligation to make Euro Committed Loans, to purchase
risk participations in Euro Fronting Loans pursuant to this Section 4.5.3,
or to purchase and fund risk participations in Euro Swing Line Loans pursuant to
this Section 4.5.3 shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be
affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment,
defense or
Global Senior Credit Agreement
81
other right which such Euro Lender may have against Euro Swing Line Lender, any
Euro Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or
continuance of a Default, or (iii) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether
or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that each Euro Lender’s
obligation to make Euro Committed Loans pursuant to this Section 4.5.3 is
subject to the conditions set forth in Section 10.2. No such funding of
risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of any Euro
Borrower to repay Euro Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.
4.5.4 Repayment of Participations.
(a) At any time after any Euro Lender has purchased and funded a risk
participation in a Euro Swing Line Loan, if Euro Swing Line Lender receives any
payment on account of such Euro Swing Line Loan, Euro Swing Line Lender will
distribute to such Euro Lender its Applicable Tranche Percentage of such payment
(appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of
time during which such Euro Lender’s risk participation was funded) in the same
funds as those received by Euro Swing Line Lender.
(b) If any payment received by Euro Swing Line Lender in respect of principal
or interest on any Euro Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by Euro Swing
Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 16.5
(including pursuant to any settlement entered into by Euro Swing Line Lender in its
discretion), each Euro Lender shall pay to Euro Swing Line Lender its Applicable
Tranche Percentage thereof on demand of Euro Funding Agent, plus interest
thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate
per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate. Euro Funding Agent will make such
demand upon the request of Euro Swing Line Lender. The obligations of Euro Lenders
under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the
termination of this Agreement.
4.5.5 Interest for Account of Euro Swing Line Lender. Euro Swing Line Lender
shall be responsible for invoicing the applicable Euro Borrowers for interest on the Euro
Swing Line Loans. Until a Euro Lender funds its Euro Committed Loan or risk participation
pursuant to Section 4.5.3 to refinance such Euro Lender’s Applicable Tranche
Percentage of any Euro Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Euro Lender’s Applicable
Tranche Percentage shall be solely for the account of Euro Swing Line Lender.
4.5.6 Payments Directly to Euro Swing Line Lender. Each Euro Borrower shall make
all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Euro Swing Line Loans directly to
Euro Swing Line Lender.
4.6 Euro Prepayments.
4.6.1 Prepayments of Committed Loans. Each Euro Borrower may, upon notice to
Euro Funding Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Euro
Global Senior Credit Agreement
82
Committed Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that
(a) such notice must be received by Euro Funding Agent not later than 10:00 a.m., Brussels
time, five (5) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans; and
(b) any prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount permitted by
Section 8.1.2 or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding,
provided that if Euro Lenders have made any Euro Committed Loans pursuant to
Section 4.5.3 or 7.3.2, then the applicable Euro Borrower may make a
prepayment in any other amount so long as, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate
principal amount of all Eurocurrency Rate Loans is in the principal Euro Equivalent amount of
EUR 1,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of EUR 100,000. Each such notice shall specify
the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Euro Committed Loans to be prepaid
and, if Eurocurrency Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Eurocurrency
Rate Loans. Euro Funding Agent will promptly notify each Euro Lender of its receipt of each
such notice, and of the amount of such Euro Lender’s Applicable Tranche Percentage of such
prepayment. If such notice is given by such Euro Borrower, then such Euro Borrower shall make
such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on
the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall be accompanied
by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amount required
pursuant to Section 9.5. Subject to Sections 4.2.4 and 8.8.3, each
such prepayment shall be applied to the Euro Committed Loans of Euro Lenders in accordance
with their respective Applicable Tranche Percentages.
4.6.2 Prepayments of Swing Line Loans. The applicable Euro Borrower may, upon
notice to Euro Swing Line Lender (with a copy to Euro Funding Agent), at any time or from time
to time, voluntarily prepay any Euro Swing Line Loans in whole or in part without premium or
penalty; provided that (a) such notice must be received by Euro Swing Line Lender, and
Euro Funding Agent not later than 10:00 a.m., Brussels time, on the date of the prepayment,
and (b) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of EUR 500,000 for Euro
denominated Euro Swing Line Loans and £500,000 for Sterling denominated Swing Line Loans.
Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment. If such notice is
given by such Euro Borrower, such Euro Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment
amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.
4.6.3 Prepayments Due to Currency Fluctuations. Euro Funding Agent shall
calculate the Euro Equivalent of the Euro Total Outstandings (but only with respect to
Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency) on each Revaluation Date. If
on the Revaluation Date that occurs on the first (1st) Business Day of each
calendar month, or such other times as Euro Funding Agent may determine in its reasonable
discretion, such calculation reflects that, as of such Revaluation Date, the Euro Equivalent
of the Euro Total Outstandings exceeds an amount equal to one hundred and five percent (105%)
of the Euro Aggregate Commitments then in effect, then, within two (2) Business Days after
notice of such calculation from Euro Funding Agent to ProLogis, Euro Borrowers shall prepay
the Euro Loans and/or Euro Borrowers shall Cash Collateralize the Euro L/C Obligations in an
aggregate amount sufficient to reduce the Euro Equivalent of such Euro Total Outstandings as
of such date of payment to an amount not to exceed one hundred percent (100%) of the Euro
Aggregate Commitments then in effect,
Global Senior Credit Agreement
83
provided that solely for purposes of measuring compliance with this Section
4.6.3, the amount of Cash Collateral delivered to Collateral Agent under this Section
4.6.3 shall be deemed to have reduced the Euro Total Outstandings. Subject to Section
4.2.4, each such prepayment shall be applied to the Euro Committed Loans of Euro Lenders
in accordance with their respective Applicable Tranche Percentages.
4.6.4 Other Prepayments. If, on any date other than the Initial Maturity Date,
the Euro Equivalent of the Euro Total Outstandings exceeds the Euro Aggregate Commitments then
in effect and such excess is not due to a currency exchange fluctuation covered under
Section 4.6.3, then, within two (2) Business Days after notice from Euro Funding Agent
to ProLogis, Euro Borrowers shall prepay the Euro Committed Loans and/or Euro Borrowers shall
Cash Collateralize the Euro L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce the
Euro Equivalent of such Euro Total Outstandings as of such date of payment to an amount not to
exceed the Euro Aggregate Commitments then in effect, without regard to any minimum or
multiples specified in Section 8.1.2 with respect to prepayments. Subject to
Section 4.2.4, each such prepayment shall be applied to the Euro Committed Loans of
Euro Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Tranche Percentages.

YEN COMMITMENTS AND YEN CREDIT EXTENSION
5.1 Yen Committed Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Yen
Lender severally agrees to make loans (each such loan, a “Yen Committed Loan”) to each Yen
Borrower, subject to Section 5.2, in Yen or in one or more Alternative Currencies of the
Yen Tranche from time to time, on any Business Day during the Initial Availability Period with
respect to such Yen Lender’s Initial Commitment, and during the Extended Availability Period with
respect to such Yen Lender’s Extended Commitment, as applicable, under the Yen Tranche, in an
aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of such Yen Lender’s Yen
Commitment; provided that after giving effect to any Yen Committed Borrowing, (a) the Yen
Total Outstandings shall not exceed the Yen Aggregate Commitments, and (b) the Yen Credit Exposure
of any Yen Lender shall not exceed such Yen Lender’s Yen Commitment, provided further, that
any Yen Committed Loan denominated in Yen may only be made to a Yen Borrower organized under the
Laws of Japan, a Japan Property Fund, or ProLogis Japan Finance Incorporated (Delaware). Within
the limits of each Yen Lender’s Yen Commitment, Yen Borrowers may borrow under this
Section 5.1, prepay under Section 5.6, and reborrow under this Section 5.1.
Yen Committed Loans may be Base Rate Loans (if denominated in Dollars), ABR Rate Loans (if
denominated in Yen), or Eurocurrency Rate Loans, as further provided herein.

subject to the limitations set forth below, to fund its Fronting Portion of such Yen Committed
Borrowing in the requested currency on behalf of each applicable Yen Non-Qualified Lender with
respect to such Yen Committed Borrowing and in the amount of each such Yen Non-Qualified
Lender’s Applicable Tranche Percentage for such Yen
Global Senior Credit Agreement
84
Committed Loan (each a “Yen Fronting Loan”), notwithstanding the fact that such
Yen Fronting Loan, when aggregated with the Applicable Tranche Percentage of the Yen Credit
Exposure of such Fronting Lender may exceed the amount of such Fronting Lender’s Yen
Commitment; provided that (a) after giving effect to any Yen Fronting Loan, the
aggregate Dollar Equivalent amount of all Fronting Loans funded by such Fronting Lender shall
not exceed the Fronting Commitment of such Fronting Lender and (b) such Fronting Lender shall
not be a Yen Non-Qualified Lender with respect to such Yen Fronting Loan. Immediately upon
the making of a Yen Fronting Loan on behalf of a Yen Non-Qualified Lender, such Yen
Non-Qualified Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to,
purchase from such Fronting Lender a risk participation in one hundred percent (100%) of such
Yen Fronting Loan. The purchase of such risk participation in each Yen Fronting Loan by such
Yen Non-Qualified Lender shall satisfy such Yen Non-Qualified Lender’s funding requirements
under Section 5.1. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, no more than five (5)
Credit Extensions that utilize Yen Fronting Loans shall be made during any calendar month.
5.2.2 Election of Fronting Lenders. Upon a request for a Yen Committed Borrowing
in accordance with Section 5.3 in an Alternative Currency or for a Foreign Borrower
with respect to which there are Yen Non-Qualified Lenders, there shall be a Fronting Lender
Election. If the Fronting Lenders based on the limitations set forth in the proviso to the
first sentence of Section 5.2.1 are unable to fund the entire requested Yen Fronting
Loan, then the applicable Yen Borrower may decrease the amount of the requested Yen Committed
Borrowing within one (1) Business Day after notice by Yen Funding Agent of such limitation.
If such Yen Borrower does not reduce its request for a Yen Committed Borrowing to an amount
equal to or less than the available Fronting Commitment subject to the limitation set forth
the proviso to the first sentence in Section 5.2.1, then the requested Yen Committed
Loan shall not be made by Yen Lenders.
5.2.3 Refinancing of the Yen Fronting Loans.
(a) (i) On the Trigger Date, Yen Funding Agent shall notify each Yen
Non-Qualified Lender of its obligation to fund its participation in each
applicable Yen Fronting Loan. Each applicable Yen Non-Qualified Lender
shall make the amount of its participation in each applicable Yen Fronting
Loan specified in such notice available to Yen Funding Agent in Same Day
Funds for the account of the applicable Fronting Lender at Yen Funding
Agent’s Office for payments in the same currency as the applicable Yen
Fronting Loan not later than 1:00 p.m., Tokyo time, on the Business Day
specified in such notice.
(ii) To the extent that a Yen Non-Qualified Lender that has a risk
participation in a Yen Fronting Loan assigns all or part of its interest in
such risk participation under Section 16.6 to a Yen Qualified Lender
for purposes of such Yen Fronting Loan, then such Yen Qualified Lender shall
make the amount of its assigned participation in such Yen Fronting Loan
available to Yen Funding Agent in Same Day Funds for the account of the
applicable Fronting Lender at Yen Funding Agent’s Office
Global Senior Credit Agreement
85
for payments in the same currency as the applicable Yen Fronting Loan
not later than 1:00 p.m., Tokyo time, on the third (3rd) Business
Day following the effective date of the assignment.
(b) If any applicable Yen Lender fails to make available to any Fronting Lender
any amount required to be paid by such Yen Lender pursuant to the foregoing
provisions of this Section 5.2.3 by the time specified in
Section 5.2.3(a), the applicable Fronting Lender shall be entitled to
recover from such Yen Lender (acting through Yen Funding Agent), on demand, such
amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required
to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such Fronting Lender
at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in
effect. A certificate of a Fronting Lender submitted to any applicable Yen Lender
(through Yen Funding Agent) with respect to any amount owing under this clause
(b) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(c) Each applicable Yen Lender’s obligation to purchase and fund risk
participations in Yen Fronting Loans pursuant to this Section 5.2.3 shall be
absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including
(i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Yen
Lender may have against the applicable Fronting Lender, any Yen Borrower or any
other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a
Default, or (iii) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar
to any of the foregoing. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or
otherwise impair the obligation of any Yen Borrower to repay any Fronting Lender,
together with interest as provided herein.
(d) At any time after any Yen Lender has purchased and funded a risk
participation in a Yen Fronting Loan, if the applicable Fronting Lender receives any
payment on account of such Fronting Loan, such Fronting Lender will distribute to
such Yen Lender such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest
payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Yen Lender’s risk
participation was funded) in the same funds and currency as those received by the
applicable Fronting Lender.
(e) If any payment received by any Fronting Lender (and paid to a Yen Lender)
in respect of principal or interest on any Yen Fronting Loan is required to be
returned by such Fronting Lender under any of the circumstances described in
Section 16.5 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such
Fronting Lender in its direction), such Yen Lender shall pay to such Fronting Lender
in the applicable currency of such Yen Fronting Loan the amount of such payment in
respect of such Yen Fronting Loan on demand of Yen Funding Agent, plus
interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned,
at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate. Yen Funding Agent will
make such demand upon the request of the applicable Fronting Lender. The
obligations of Yen Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of
the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
Global Senior Credit Agreement
86
5.2.4 Payments for Account of the applicable Fronting Lender. Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, until a Yen Lender funds its risk participation
pursuant to this Section 5.2 to refinance such Yen Lender’s applicable Yen Fronting

was funded in part by a Fronting Lender on behalf of such Yen Lender shall be solely for the
account of the applicable Fronting Lender.
5.2.5 Defaulting Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Fronting Lender shall be
required to make a Yen Fronting Loan on behalf of a Yen Non-Qualified Lender that is a
Defaulting Lender at the time of the receipt by Yen Funding Agent of the applicable Yen
Committed Loan Notice. In addition, to the extent (a) a Yen Fronting Loan is outstanding,
(b) a Yen Non-Qualified Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, and (c) the applicable Fronting
Lender makes a demand for repayment to the applicable Yen Borrower, then such Yen Borrower
shall repay such Yen Fronting Loan (i) on or before the earlier of (A) thirty (30) days
following receipt of such demand or (B) the fifth (5th) day following the last day
of the applicable Interest Period ending after receipt of such demand, or (ii) if no Interest
Period is in effect with respect to such Yen Fronting Loan, within ten (10) days following
receipt of such demand. If any such Yen Fronting Loan is not repaid in full on the last day
of an Interest Period (if applicable or required under clause (i)(B) above), subject
to Section 8.4.2, such Yen Fronting Loan shall bear interest at the Money Market Rate
plus the Applicable Margin until such payment is due hereunder.
5.3 Yen Committed Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Yen Committed Loans.
5.3.1 Procedures for Yen Committed Borrowings. Each Yen Committed Borrowing,
each conversion of Yen Committed Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of
Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be made upon the requesting Yen Borrower’s irrevocable notice to
Yen Funding Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by Yen
Funding Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., Tokyo time, (a) three (3) Business Days (five (5)
Business Days in the case of a Foreign Borrower) prior to the requested date of any Yen
Committed Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated

Rate Loans. Each telephonic notice by the requesting Yen Borrower pursuant to this
Section 5.3 must be confirmed promptly by delivery to Yen Funding Agent of a written
Yen Committed Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of such
Yen Borrower. Each Yen Committed Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency

a principal amount permitted by Section 8.1.1. Each Yen Committed Loan Notice
(whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i) the jurisdiction of the applicable Yen
Borrower and whether such Borrower is a Foreign Borrower, (ii) whether the applicable Yen
Borrower is requesting a Yen Committed Borrowing, a conversion of Yen Committed Loans from one
Type to the other, or a continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, (iii) the requested date of
the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day),

the requesting Yen Borrower fails to specify a currency in a Yen Committed Loan Notice
requesting a Yen Committed Borrowing, then the Yen Committed Loans so requested shall be made
in Yen. If the requesting Yen Borrower fails to specify a Type of Yen Committed Loan in a Yen
Committed Loan Notice or fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or
continuation, then (A) if the applicable Yen Committed Loans are denominated in Dollars, such
Yen Committed Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans; (B) if the applicable
Yen Committed Loans are denominated in Yen, such Yen Committed Loans shall be made as, or
converted to, ABR Rate Loans; and (C) if the applicable Yen Committed Loans are denominated in
a currency other than Dollars or Yen, such Yen Committed Loans shall be made in the currency

Rate Loans with an Interest Period of one (1) month. Any automatic conversion to Base Rate
Loans or ABR Rate Loan, as applicable, shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest
Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurocurrency Rate Loans. If the
requesting Yen Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of
Eurocurrency Rate Loans in any such Yen Committed Loan Notice, but fails to specify an
Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one (1) month. No
Yen Committed Loan may be converted into or continued as a Yen Committed Loan denominated in a
different currency, but instead must be repaid in the original currency of such Yen Committed
Loan and reborrowed in the other currency.
5.3.2 Funding of Yen Committed Loans. Following receipt of a Yen Committed Loan
Notice, Yen Funding Agent shall promptly notify each Yen Lender of the amount (and currency)
of its Applicable Tranche Percentage of the applicable Yen Committed Borrowings, and if no
timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the applicable Yen Borrower, Yen
Funding Agent shall notify each Yen Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base
Rate Loans or continuation of Yen Committed Loans denominated in a currency other than
Dollars, in each case as described in the preceding Section. In the case of a Yen Committed
Borrowing, each Yen Qualified Lender and the applicable Fronting Lender, if any, shall make

Funding Agent’s Office for the applicable currency not later than 12:00 noon, Tokyo time, in
the case of any Yen Committed Loan denominated in Yen, and not later than the Applicable Time
specified by Yen Funding Agent in the case of any Yen Committed Loan in an Alternative
Currency of the Yen Tranche, in each case on the Business Day specified in the applicable Yen
Committed Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in
Global Senior Credit Agreement
88
Section 10.2 (and, if such Yen Committed Borrowing is the initial Credit
Extension, Section 10.1), Yen Funding Agent shall make all funds so received available
to the applicable Yen Borrower in like funds as received by Yen Funding Agent either by
(a) crediting the account of such Yen Borrower on the books of Yen Funding Agent with the
amount of such funds or (b) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with
instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) Yen Funding Agent by the requesting
Yen Borrower; provided that if, on the date a Yen Committed Loan Notice with respect
to a Yen Committed Borrowing denominated in Yen is given by the requesting Yen Borrower, such
Yen Borrower has outstanding Yen L/C Borrowings, then the proceeds of such Yen Committed
Borrowing, first, shall be applied to the payment in full of such Yen L/C Borrowings,
and, second, shall be made available to the requesting Yen Borrower as provided above.
5.3.3 Certain Continuations and Conversions. Except as otherwise provided
herein, a Eurocurrency Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an
Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Rate Loan. During the existence of a Default, the Yen
Required Lenders may at their option, by notice to the Yen Borrowers (which notice may be
revoked at the option of Yen Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of
Section 16.1) declare that (a) no Yen Committed Loans denominated in Yen or Dollars
may be requested as, converted to or continued as Eurocurrency Rate Loans, and (b) no Yen
Committed Loans denominated in any other Alternative Currency may be requested or continued as
Eurocurrency Rate Loans, other than as Eurocurrency Rate Loan with an Interest Period of one
(1) month.
5.3.4 Notice of Rates. Yen Funding Agent shall promptly notify each applicable
Yen Borrower and Yen Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for
Eurocurrency Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate. At any time that Base Rate

Lenders of any change in U.S. Funding Agent’s “prime rate” used in determining the Base Rate
for Yen Committed Loan denominated in Dollars promptly following the public announcement of
such change. At any time that ABR Rate Loans are outstanding, Yen Funding Agent shall notify
each applicable Yen Borrower and Yen Lenders of any change in Yen Funding Agent’s “prime rate”
used in determining the ABR Rate for Yen Committed Loans denominated in Yen promptly following
the public announcement of such change.

Borrowings, all conversions of Yen Committed Loans from one Type to the other, and all
continuations of Yen Committed Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than twenty
(20) Interest Periods in effect with respect to Yen Committed Loans.
5.4 Yen Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (a) each Yen
L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of Yen Lenders set forth in this Section 5.4

Letters of Credit; and (b) Yen
Global Senior Credit Agreement
89
Lenders severally agree to participate in Yen Letters of Credit issued for the account of any

Total Outstandings shall not exceed the Yen Aggregate Commitments, (y) the Yen Credit Exposure of
any Yen Lender shall not exceed such Yen Lender’s Yen Commitment, and (z) the Yen Outstanding
Amount of the Yen L/C Obligations shall not exceed the Yen Letter of Credit Sublimit. Within the
foregoing limits, any Yen Borrower’s ability to obtain Yen Letters of Credit shall be fully
revolving, and accordingly each Yen Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Yen Letters
of Credit to replace Yen Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and
reimbursed. All Yen Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant
hereto, and from and after the Closing Date shall be subject to and governed by the terms and
conditions hereof.
5.5 Yen Prepayments.
5.5.1 Prepayments of Yen Committed Loans. Each Yen Borrower may, upon notice to
Yen Funding Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Yen Committed Loans in
whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (a) such notice must be

Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, and (ii) one (1) Business Day

prepayment of Yen Committed Loans shall be in a principal amount permitted by
Section 8.1.2, or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding;
provided that if Yen Lenders have made any Yen Committed Loans pursuant to
7.3.2, then the applicable Yen Borrower may make a prepayment in any other amount so
long as, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of all ABR Rate Loans is
in an integral multiple of ¥100,000,000. Each such notice shall specify the date and
amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Yen Committed Loans to be prepaid and, if
Eurocurrency Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Yen Committed Loans.
Yen Funding Agent will promptly notify each Yen Lender of its receipt of each such notice,
and of the amount of such Yen Lender’s Applicable Tranche Percentage of such prepayment. If
such notice is given by such Yen Borrower, then such Yen Borrower shall make such prepayment
and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified
therein. Any prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued
interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amount required pursuant to
Section 9.5. Subject to Sections 5.2.4 and 8.8.3, each such
prepayment shall be applied to the Yen Committed Loans of Yen Lenders in accordance with their
respective Applicable Tranche Percentages.
5.5.2 Prepayments due to Currency Fluctuations. Yen Funding Agent shall
calculate the Yen Equivalent of the Yen Total Outstandings on each Revaluation Date (but only
with respect to Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency). If on the
Revaluation Date that occurs on the first (1st) Business Day of each calendar
month, or such other times as Yen Funding Agent may determine in its reasonable discretion,
such calculation reflects that, as of such Revaluation Date, Yen Equivalent of the Yen Total
Outstandings exceeds an amount equal to one hundred and five percent (105%) of the Yen
Aggregate Commitments then in effect, then, within two (2) Business Days after notice of such
calculation from Yen Funding Agent to ProLogis, Yen Borrowers shall prepay the
Global Senior Credit Agreement
90
Yen Committed Loans and/or Yen Borrowers shall Cash Collateralize the Yen L/C Obligations
in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce the Yen Equivalent of such Yen Total Outstandings
as of such date of payment to an amount not to exceed one hundred percent (100%) of the Yen
Aggregate Commitments then in effect, provided that solely for purposes of measuring
compliance with this Section 5.5.2, the amount of Cash Collateral delivered to
Collateral Agent under this Section 5.5.2 shall be deemed to have reduced the Yen
Total Outstandings. Subject to Section 5.2.4, each such prepayment shall be applied to
the Yen Committed Loans of Yen Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Tranche
Percentages.
5.5.3 Other Prepayments. If, on any date other than the Initial Maturity Date,
the Yen Equivalent of the Yen Total Outstandings exceeds the Yen Aggregate Commitments then in
effect and such excess is not due to a currency exchange fluctuation covered under
Section 5.5.2, then, within two (2) Business Days after notice from Yen Funding Agent
to ProLogis, Yen Borrowers shall prepay the Yen Committed Loans and/or Yen Borrowers shall
Cash Collateralize the Yen L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce the Yen
Equivalent of such Yen Total Outstandings as of such date of payment to an amount not to
exceed the Yen Aggregate Commitments then in effect, without regard to any minimum or
multiples specified in Section 8.1.2 with respect to prepayments. Subject to
Section 5.2.4, each such prepayment shall be applied to the Yen Committed Loans of Yen
Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Tranche Percentages.

to an amount not to exceed the KRW Aggregate Commitments then in effect, without regard to any
minimum or multiples specified in Section 8.1.2 with respect to prepayments. Each such
prepayment shall be applied to the KRW Committed Loans of KRW Lenders in accordance with their
respective Applicable Tranche Percentages.
6.4 Termination of KRW Commitments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on the Initial Maturity
Date, the KRW Commitments of all KRW Lenders shall terminate and the KRW Outstanding Amount shall
be due and payable.

as if the term “Agent” as used in Article XV included such L/C Issuer with respect to
such acts or omissions, and (b) as additionally provided herein with respect to such L/C

7.2 Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Extension Letters of
Credit.
7.2.1 Requests for Issuance or Amendment. Each Letter of Credit shall be issued
or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of any Borrower delivered to the applicable
L/C Issuer (with a copy to the applicable Funding Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit
Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of such
Global Senior Credit Agreement
94
Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the applicable L/C
Issuer and the applicable Funding Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., Applicable Time, at least
three (3) Business Days (or, in each case, such later date and time as such L/C Issuer and
such Funding Agent may both agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to
the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request
for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Letter of Credit Application
shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer: (a) the
proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (b)
the amount thereof; (c) the expiry date thereof; (d) the name and address of the beneficiary
thereof; (e) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing
thereunder; (f) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case
of any drawing thereunder; and (g) such other matters as the applicable L/C Issuer may
reasonably require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of
Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably
satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer: (i) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (ii) the
proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (iii) the nature of the
proposed amendment; and (iv) such other matters as the applicable L/C Issuer may reasonably
require. Additionally, the requesting Borrower shall furnish to the applicable L/C Issuer and
the applicable Funding Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested
Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as such L/C Issuer or
Funding Agent may reasonably require.
7.2.2 Issuance Procedures. Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit
Application, the applicable L/C Issuer will confirm with the applicable Funding Agent (by
telephone or in writing) that such Funding Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit
Application from the requesting Borrower and, if not, such L/C Issuer will provide such
Funding Agent with a copy thereof. Unless such L/C Issuer has received written notice from
Global Administrative Agent, the applicable Funding Agent, or any Credit Party, at least one
(1) Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit,
that one or more applicable conditions contained in Article X shall not then be
satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such L/C Issuer shall, on the
requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the requesting Borrower (or the
applicable Eligible Affiliate) or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in
each case in accordance with such L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices.
Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Applicable Tranche Lender shall
be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the
applicable L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the
product of such Lender’s Applicable Tranche Percentage times the amount of such Letter
of Credit.
7.2.3 Auto-Extension Letters of Credit. If any Borrower so requests in a Letter
of Credit Application, the applicable L/C Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion,
agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an
“Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any Auto-Extension Letter of
Credit must permit such L/C Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve
(12) month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving
prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice
Global Senior Credit Agreement
95
Date”) in each such twelve (12) month period to be agreed upon at the time such
Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by such L/C Issuer, the applicable
Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to such L/C Issuer for any such
extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Applicable Tranche
Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the applicable L/C Issuer to
permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the
Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided that such L/C Issuer shall not permit any
such extension if (a) such L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would
have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as
extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of Section 7.1.1(a) or
Section 7.1.1(b) or otherwise), or (b) it has received notice (which may be by
telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is five (5) Business Days before the
Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from Global Administrative Agent or the applicable Funding
Agent, that the applicable Tranche Required Lenders have elected not to permit such extension
or (2) from Global Administrative Agent, the applicable Funding Agent, or any Credit Party
that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 10.2 is not then
satisfied, and in each such case directing such L/C Issuer not to permit such extension.
7.2.4 Notice of Issuance. Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or
any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the
beneficiary thereof, the applicable L/C Issuer will also deliver to the applicable Borrower
and the applicable Funding Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or
amendment.
7.3 Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.
7.3.1 Procedures Upon Drawing. Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter
of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer
shall notify the applicable Borrower and the applicable Funding Agent thereof. Not later than
10:00 a.m., Applicable Time, on the date of any payment by an L/C Issuer under a Letter of
Credit (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the applicable Borrower shall reimburse such
L/C Issuer through the applicable Funding Agent in an amount (in the same currency in which
such payment was made) equal to the amount of such drawing. If the applicable Borrower fails
to so reimburse an L/C Issuer by such time, the applicable Funding Agent shall promptly notify
each Applicable Tranche Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the
“Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Applicable Tranche Lender’s Applicable
Tranche Percentage thereof. In such event, the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have
requested a Committed Borrowing of the Specified Type (as defined below) to be disbursed on
the first (1st) Business Day after the Honor Date in an amount equal to the
Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified elsewhere in this
Agreement for the principal amount of a Committed Borrowing, but subject to the amount of the
unutilized portion of the Aggregate Tranche Commitment and the conditions set forth in
Section 10.2 (other than the delivery of a Committed Loan Notice). To the extent that
any Unreimbursed Amount under the Euro Tranche is in Sterling and there are Euro Non-Qualified
Lenders with respect to Sterling, then Euro Funding Agent may elect a Fronting Lender in
accordance with Section 4.2 on behalf of the applicable Euro Borrower (which hereby
irrevocably
Global Senior Credit Agreement
96
authorizes Euro Funding Agent to so elect on its behalf); provided that to the
extent that there are no available Fronting Lenders, then such portion of the Unreimbursed
Amount shall be converted to Euro based on the Euro Equivalent amount of such portion and
refinanced as a Eurocurrency Rate Loan in Euro with an Interest Period of one (1) month. Any
notice given by an L/C Issuer or a Funding Agent pursuant to this Section 7.3.1 may be
given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such
an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such
notice. For purposes of the foregoing, “Specified Type” means (a) with respect to the
U.S. Tranche, Base Rate Loans; (b) with respect to the Canadian Tranche and the Yen Tranche,
ABR Rate Loans; and (c) with respect to the Euro Tranche, a Eurocurrency Rate Loan with an
Interest Period of one (1) month.
7.3.2 Reimbursement via Committed Borrowing. Each Applicable Tranche Lender (or,
in the case of a Euro Letter of Credit, each Euro Qualified Lender and each applicable
Fronting Lender) shall upon receipt of any notice pursuant to Section 7.3.1 make funds
available to the applicable Funding Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer, in the
applicable currency of the applicable Letter of Credit, at such Funding Agent’s Office in an
amount equal to each such Applicable Tranche Lender’s Applicable Tranche Percentage (or, in
the case of a Euro Letter of Credit, each Euro Qualified Lender’s Applicable Tranche
Percentage and each applicable Fronting Lender’s Euro Fronting Loan) of the Unreimbursed
Amount not later than 12:00 noon, Applicable Time, on the Business Day specified in such
notice by such Funding Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 7.3.3,
each Applicable Tranche Lender (or in the case of a Euro Letter of Credit, the Euro Qualified
Lender and the Fronting Lender) that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a
Committed Loan to the applicable Borrower in such amount. The applicable Funding Agent shall
remit the funds so received to the applicable L/C Issuer.
7.3.3 L/C Borrowings. With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully
refinanced by a Committed Borrowing because the conditions set forth in Section 10.2
cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have
incurred from the applicable L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed
Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand
(together with interest), in the currency in which payment was made under the applicable
Letter of Credit and shall bear interest at the Default Rate for the applicable Specified
Type; provided that to the extent that a Euro L/C Borrowing is in Sterling and there
are Euro Non-Qualified Lenders with respect to Sterling, then the aggregate amount of the Euro
L/C Borrowing shall be converted to Euro based on the Euro Equivalent amount of such Euro L/C
Borrowing and shall bear interest at the Default Rate for a Eurocurrency Rate Loan with an
Interest Period of one (1) month. In such event, each applicable Lender’s payment to the
applicable Funding Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer pursuant to this
Section 7.3.3 shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C
Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its
participation obligation under this Section 7.3.
7.3.4 Interest Prior to Lender Payments. Until an Applicable Tranche Lender
(and, in the case of the Euro Tranche, a Fronting Lender) funds its Committed Loan or L/C
Global Senior Credit Agreement
97
Advance pursuant to this Section 7.3 to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for
any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of the Committed Loan or L/C
Advance to be made by such Applicable Tranche Lender (or such Fronting Lender) shall be solely
for the account of such L/C Issuer.
7.3.5 Lender Obligations Unconditional. Each Applicable Tranche Lender’s (and,
if applicable, Fronting Lender’s) obligation to make Committed Loans or L/C Advances or to
purchase risk participations in Fronting Loans in order to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer
for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 7.3, shall
be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including: (a)
any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have
against such L/C Issuer, any Borrower, any Eligible Affiliate or any other Person for any
reason whatsoever; (b) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (c) any other
occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing;
provided that each such Person’s obligation to make Committed Loans pursuant to this
Section 7.3 is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 10.2 (other than
delivery by the applicable Borrower of a Committed Loan Notice). No such making of an L/C
Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the applicable Borrower to
reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by such L/C Issuer
under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.
7.3.6 Interest on Overdue Amounts. If any Applicable Tranche Lender (or, in the
case of the Euro Tranche, Fronting Lender) fails to make available directly to the applicable
Funding Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by
such Lender (or Fronting Lender) pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this
Section 7.3 by the time specified in Section 7.3.2, such L/C Issuer shall be
entitled to recover from such Person (acting through the applicable Funding Agent), on demand,
such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the
date on which such payment is immediately available to such L/C Issuer at a rate per annum
equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. A certificate of an L/C
Issuer submitted to any Lender (through the applicable Funding Agent) with respect to any
amount owing under this Section 7.3.6 shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
7.4 Repayment of Participations.
7.4.1 Payments by L/C Issuers. At any time after an L/C Issuer has made a
payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Applicable Tranche Lender (or, in
the case of the Euro Tranche, any Fronting Lender) such Person’s L/C Advance in respect of
such payment in accordance with Section 7.3, if the applicable Funding Agent receives
for the account of such L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount
or interest thereon (whether directly from the applicable Borrower or otherwise, including
proceeds of Cash Collateral of the applicable Tranche applied thereto by the applicable
Funding Agent), the applicable Funding Agent will distribute to such Applicable Tranche Lender
(or Fronting Lender) its Applicable Tranche Percentage (or other appropriate percentage)
thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of
time during which such Person’s L/C Advance was outstanding) in the same funds as those
received by the applicable Funding Agent.
Global Senior Credit Agreement
98
7.4.2 Disgorgement. If any payment received by the applicable Funding Agent for
the account of any L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 7.4.1 is required to be returned
under any of the circumstances described in Section 16.5 (including pursuant to any
settlement entered into by such L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Applicable Tranche Lender
(and, in the case of the Euro Tranche, each applicable Euro Funding Agent) shall pay to the
applicable Funding Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer its Applicable Tranche Percentage
(or other appropriate percentage) thereof on demand of the applicable Funding Agent (in each
case in currency in which such payment originally was made), plus interest thereon
from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Applicable Tranche
Lender (or Euro Funding Agent), at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate
from time to time in effect.
7.4.3 Survival. The obligations of the Lenders (and the Euro Funding Agents),
the L/C Issuers and the Fronting Lenders under this Section 7.4 shall survive the
payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
7.5 Borrower Obligations Absolute. The obligation of each Borrower to reimburse the
applicable L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer for
the account of such Borrower and to repay each L/C Borrowing incurred by such Borrower shall be
absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:
(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this
Agreement, or any other Loan Document;
(b) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right
that any Borrower or any Eligible Affiliate may have at any time against any
beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any
such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), any L/C Issuer or any other
Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated
hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto,
or any unrelated transaction;
(c) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such
Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any
respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any
loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to
make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;
(d) any payment by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against
presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms
of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of
Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession,
assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative
of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit,
including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law;
or
Global Senior Credit Agreement
99
(e) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to
any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise
constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Borrower or any Eligible
Affiliate.
Each Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto
that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with such Borrower’s
instructions or other irregularity, such Borrower will promptly notify such L/C Issuer. Each
Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against any L/C Issuer and its
correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.
7.6 Role of L/C Issuer. Each Lender and each Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under
a Letter of Credit, no L/C Issuer shall have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than
any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by such Letter of Credit) or to
ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the
Person executing or delivering any such document. No L/C Issuer or Agent or any of their
respective Related Parties or any correspondent, participant or assignee of any L/C Issuer shall be
liable to any Lender for (a) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or
with the approval of all Lenders, all Applicable Tranche Lenders, the applicable Tranche Required
Lenders, or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (b) any action taken or omitted in the absence of
gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (c) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or
enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document.
Each Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee
with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided that this assumption is not
intended to, and shall not, preclude any Borrower pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have
against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. No L/C Issuer or Agent
or any of their respective Related Parties or any correspondent, participant or assignee of any L/C
Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (a)
through (e) of Section 7.5; provided that anything in such clauses to the
contrary notwithstanding, a Borrower may have a claim against an L/C Issuer, and such L/C Issuer
may be liable to such Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to
consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by such Borrower which it proves were caused by such
L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or such L/C Issuer’s willful failure to pay
under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and
certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit. In
furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, any L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear
on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any
notice or information to the contrary, and no L/C Issuer shall be responsible for the validity or
sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a
Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part,
which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.
7.7 Cash Collateral.
7.7.1 Certain Cash Collateral.
Upon the request of the applicable Funding Agent or Required Lenders (for purposes of
clause (a) below) or the applicable Tranche Required Lenders (for purposes of clause
(b) below), (a)
during the existence of an Event of Default, (b) if, as of the Initial Maturity Date, (i) any
Canadian L/C Obligation remains outstanding and has not
Global Senior Credit Agreement
100
been transferred to the U.S. Tranche
pursuant to Section 3.5, or (ii) the L/C Obligations under any Tranche exceeds the Letter
of Credit Sublimit for such Tranche, or (c) if, as of the Extended Maturity Date, any L/C
Obligations under the Available Tranches for any reason remains outstanding, the applicable
Borrower shall, in each case, promptly Cash Collateralize in the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C
Obligations of such Borrower under each applicable Available Tranche, in each case in the same
currency as the applicable L/C Obligations; provided, that if such Cash Collateralization
is required under clause (b)(ii) above, then such Borrower shall only be required to Cash
Collateralize the L/C Obligations that exceed the applicable Letter of Credit Sublimit.
7.7.2 Cash Collateral and Defaulting Lender.
If any L/C Obligation under any Tranche exists at the time a Lender is a Defaulting Lender,
the applicable Borrower shall, within one (1) Business Day of delivery of written notice by the
applicable Funding Agent, Cash Collateralize the amount of the Defaulting Lender’s Applicable
Tranche Percentage of the L/C Obligations under such Tranche. If a Borrower is required to provide
an amount of cash collateral pursuant to this Section 7.7.2, such cash collateral shall be
released and promptly returned to such Borrower from time to time to the extent the amount
deposited shall exceed the Defaulting Lender’s Applicable Tranche Percentage of the L/C Obligations
under such Tranche or if such Lender ceases to be a Defaulting Lender.
7.7.3 Lien on Cash Collateral.
This Agreement sets forth certain additional requirements to deliver Cash Collateral. Each
Borrower hereby grants to Collateral Agent a security interest (subject to the Security Agency
Agreement) in all such cash, all deposit accounts into which such cash is deposited, all balances
in such accounts and all proceeds of the foregoing. Cash Collateral shall be maintained in
blocked, interest bearing deposit accounts with the applicable Funding Agent (acting as an agent
for Collateral Agent).
7.8 Applicability of ISP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable L/C Issuer and
the applicable Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable
to an Existing Letter of Credit), the rules of the ISP shall apply to each Letter of Credit.
7.9 Letter of Credit Fees. ProLogis shall (or shall cause the applicable Borrower to) pay to
the applicable Funding Agent for the account of each Applicable Tranche Lender in accordance with
its Applicable Tranche Percentage, in the Primary Currency for the applicable Tranche, a Letter of
Credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for each Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable
Margin as in effect from time to time multiplied by the daily Relevant Equivalent (as
defined below) amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. Letter of Credit Fees
shall be (a) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears and (b) due and payable on the last Business
Day of each March, June, September and December, on the last day of the Initial Availability Period
for the Canadian Letters of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date for all other Letters
of Credit, and thereafter on demand. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
upon the request of the Tranche Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, all Letter of
Credit Fees shall accrue at the
Default Rate. For purposes of the foregoing and of Section 7.10, “Relevant
Equivalent” means (i) in the case of the U.S. Letters of Credit, the Dollar Equivalent, (ii) in
the case of the Canadian Letters of Credit, Canadian Dollars, (iii) in the case of the Euro Letters
of Credit, the Euro Equivalent, and (iv) in the case of the Yen Letters of Credit, the Yen
Equivalent. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, ProLogis shall
not be required to pay any Letter of Credit Fee to any Lender for any period during which such
Lender is a Defaulting Lender.
Global Senior Credit Agreement
101
7.10 Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to each L/C Issuer. ProLogis
shall pay directly to the applicable L/C Issuer of each Letter of Credit for its own account, in
the Primary Currency of the Tranche under which such Letter of Credit was issued, a fronting fee at
the rate per annum of 0.25% computed on the Relevant Equivalent (as defined in Section 7.9)
of the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit on a quarterly basis in
arrears. Such fronting fee shall be due and payable on the last Business Day of each March, June,
September and December in respect of the most recently-ended quarterly period (or portion thereof,
in the case of the first payment), on the last day of the Initial Availability Period for the
Canadian Letters of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date for all other Letters of
Credit, and thereafter on demand. In addition, ProLogis shall pay directly to the applicable L/C
Issuer for its own account, in Primary Currency of the Tranche under which the applicable Letter of
Credit was issued, the customary issuance, presentation, amendment, extension and other processing
fees, and other standard costs and charges, of such L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as
from time to time in effect; provided that the total amount of all such fees shall not
exceed a Dollar Equivalent amount of $1,500 for any Letter of Credit. Such customary fees and
standard costs and charges are due and payable ten (10) Business Days after demand and are
nonrefundable.
7.11 Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof
and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control.
7.12 Letters of Credit Issued for Eligible Affiliate. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit
is in support of obligations of, or is for the account of, an Eligible Affiliate, the requesting
Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer hereunder for any and all
drawings under such Letter of Credit. Each Borrower acknowledges that the issuance of any Letter

long as such date is not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; and (ii) the terms of
each U.S. Bond L/C (A) must be acceptable to the applicable U.S. L/C Issuer and U.S. Funding Agent,
(B) subject to the provisions of Section 7.13.2 and 7.13.3, may provide for the
reinstatement of drawn portions of the U.S. Bond L/C, whether or not reimbursement has been
received (which may have the effect of increasing the amount of the applicable Borrower’s
reimbursement
obligations under such U.S. Bond L/C), (C) may provide for automatic extensions thereof, so
long as such terms comply with the auto extension provisions set forth in Section 7.13.3
hereof, and (D) may contain provisions whereby the applicable U.S. L/C Issuer is granted certain

Global Senior Credit Agreement
102
(b) Any Borrower may request that a U.S. L/C Issuer issue a U.S. Bond L/C by providing at
least thirty (30) days prior written notice of such request to the applicable U.S. L/C Issuer, and
by delivering a certificate at least thirty (30) days prior to the issuance of any U.S. Bond L/C to
U.S. Funding Agent certifying that, after giving effect to the issuance of any such Bonds and,
without duplication, any Debt incurred by any Company with respect thereto, no Default exists or
would result after giving effect thereto.
7.13.2 Reduction and Reinstatement of U.S. Bond L/Cs. In the event that the proceeds
of any drawing under any U.S. Bond L/C are used to pay the purchase price of Bonds tendered or
deemed tendered by the owner thereof pursuant to the related Bond Documents (such drawing,
including the drawing of any accrued interest on the tendered Bonds, a “Bond Purchase
Drawing”), then the stated amount of such U.S. Bond L/C will be temporarily reduced by the
amount of such drawing, subject to automatic reinstatement (whether or not reimbursement for any
drawings thereunder has been received or the conditions set forth in Sections 7.1.1 and
7.1.2 have been satisfied, and without further approval from Lenders) pursuant to the
provisions of the applicable U.S. Bond L/C by an amount equal to the Bond Purchase Drawing, so long
as (a) the applicable U.S. L/C Issuer (or Collateral Agent, as assignee of such U.S. L/C Issuer)
has been properly accounted for on the securities depository’s records as the beneficial owner of
such Bonds purchased with the proceeds (or portion thereof) of the U.S. Bond L/C, or (b) such Bonds
have been delivered to the appropriate custodian and registered as directed by such L/C Issuer (or
Collateral Agent, as assignee of such U.S. L/C Issuer), or (c) to the extent provided for in the
applicable U.S. Bond L/C, such Bonds have been remarketed in accordance with the terms of the
applicable Bond Documents and released by the applicable U.S. L/C Issuer; provided, that if
the repurchased Bonds are not transferred to such U.S. L/C Issuer (or Collateral Agent, as assignee
of such U.S. L/C Issuer) pursuant to clause (a) or (b) or remarketed pursuant to
clause (c) above, then the applicable U.S. L/C Issuer shall notify Global Administrative
Agent (which shall subsequently notify Lenders) of such failure. Unless otherwise directed by U.S.
Required Lenders, the applicable U.S. L/C Issuer shall then deliver notice to the applicable
Trustee prior to the fifth (5th) Business Day after the applicable Bond Purchase Drawing
that the amount of such drawing will not be reinstated, if the applicable Bond Documents permit
such notice; otherwise, the U.S. L/C Issuer may send notice of an event of default and a direction
to cause a redemption of the applicable Bonds.
7.13.3 Interest Payments. If the interest portion of any U.S. Bond L/C is drawn by the
applicable Trustee to make scheduled interest payments on the outstanding principal amount of the
Bonds, then the stated amount of such U.S. Bond L/C will be temporarily reduced by the amount of
such drawing, subject to automatic reinstatement of the interest portion of such U.S. Bond L/C
(whether or not reimbursement for any drawings thereunder has been received or the conditions set
forth in Sections 7.1.1 and 7.1.2 have been satisfied, and without further approval
from U.S. Lenders) pursuant to the provisions of the applicable U.S. Bond L/C. Subject to
compliance with Section 2.4 herein, the stated amount of the related U.S. Bond L/C may
be increased as required by the related Bond Documents (to reflect an increase in the maximum rate
of interest or number of days of accrued interest covered by such U.S. Bond L/C or otherwise).
7.13.4 Liens and Security Interests under Bond Documents. All liens and security
interests securing reimbursement obligations and other obligations owed to the applicable U.S. L/C
Issuer of any U.S. Bond L/C under the related Bond Documents (including any U.S. L/C

Borrowing),
any rights in and to any Bonds or other certificates of indebtedness issued to such L/C Issuer
under the related Bond Documents, and any voting rights or other rights created in favor of such
L/C Issuer under or pursuant to or in connection with any related Bond Documents (collectively, the
“Bond Rights”), now or hereafter existing in favor of such L/C Issuer, are hereby assigned
and conveyed by the applicable U.S. L/C Issuer to Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of U.S.
Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in any U.S. Bond L/C, any Bonds or
certificates of indebtedness purchased from the owner thereof by the applicable Trustee with funds
received pursuant to a drawing under any U.S. Bond L/C shall be registered in the name of
Collateral Agent and shall be delivered to or held by Collateral Agent or such other entity as may
be specified by the applicable L/C Issuer and approved by Collateral Agent in a written instrument
delivered to the applicable Trustee, for the benefit of the applicable L/C Issuer, Collateral
Agent, and the other U.S. Lenders. Each L/C Issuer of a U.S. Bond L/C agrees to execute all such
other assignments, conveyances, financing statements, and other documents required by Collateral
Agent to effect the requirements of this Section 7.13.4; provided that, U.S.
Lenders, Collateral Agent, and such U.S. L/C Issuer agree that in the event any Bonds or
certificates of indebtedness are issued to such U.S. L/C Issuer (or Collateral Agent as the
assignee of such U.S. L/C Issuer) as a result of a drawing by the applicable Trustee under the
U.S. Bond L/C for which such U.S. L/C Issuer is not immediately reimbursed, and subsequently the
Bonds are remarketed and such U.S. L/C Issuer is reimbursed for all amounts so advanced (which
reimbursement may be a repayment of any Loan disbursed by U.S. Lenders as payment of the related
U.S. Letter of Credit reimbursement obligations under Section 7.3.2 or a repayment of an
U.S. L/C Borrowing), then any Bonds or certificates of indebtedness shall be released by Collateral
Agent and delivered to such Trustee without any further authorization from U.S. Lenders or such
U.S. L/C Issuer.
7.13.5 Discretion to Exercise Rights. To the extent rights (including voting rights,
rights to provide notice and elect remedies, and rights to approve waivers, consents, or amendments
of the related Bond Documents) are created in favor of the U.S. L/C Issuer of any U.S. Bond L/C,
such rights (other than ministerial, non discretionary rights) may only be exercised with the
consent, or in accordance with the directions, of the U.S. Required Lenders.
7.13.6 Conflict. In the event of any conflict between the terms and provisions of this
Section 7.13 relating to U.S. Bond L/Cs and the terms and provisions of any Loan Documents
relating to U.S. Letters of Credit (other than U.S. Bond L/Cs), the terms and provisions of this

computed on the basis of a 365-day year), or, in the case of interest in respect of Committed Loans
denominated in any Foreign Currency as to which market practice differs from the foregoing, in
accordance with such market practice. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which such
Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan
or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it
is made shall, subject to Section 8.8, bear interest for one day. Each determination by
Global Administrative Agent or the applicable Funding Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder
shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent demonstrable error.

8.7.1 Recordkeeping. The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be
evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by each Funding

business. The accounts or records maintained by each Funding Agent and each Lender shall be
rebuttable presumptive evidence of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by Lenders to
Borrowers and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in
doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligations of Borrowers hereunder
to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between
the accounts and records maintained by the applicable Funding Agent for its Tranche and the
accounts and records of any Lender in such Tranche in respect of such matters, the accounts

Applicable Tranche Lender, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the
principal amount of each Loan of such Borrower from time to time made by such
Applicable Tranche Lender to such Borrower. In addition, such Borrower promises
severally, but not jointly, to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of the
Loans made to such Borrower, from the date of such Loans until such principal amount
is paid in full, at such interest rates and at such times as provided in this
Agreement.

to the applicable Funding Agent for the account of the Applicable Tranche Lenders in
the currency in which such Committed Loan was denominated and in Same Day Funds at

Section 8.7.1, each Lender and each Funding Agent for its applicable Tranche shall
maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the
purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Fronting Loans, Letters of Credit, and
Swing Line Loans to the extent such Tranche permits such subfacilities. In the event of any
conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the applicable Funding Agent for its
Tranche and the accounts and records of any Lender in such Tranche in respect of such matters,
the accounts and records of such Funding Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.
8.8 Payments Generally; Global Administrative Agent’s Clawback.
8.8.1 All Payments Generally. All payments to be made by Borrowers shall be made
without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff.
Global Senior Credit Agreement
112
8.8.2 Payments Generally. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all
payments by a Borrower under a Tranche shall be made to the applicable Funding Agent for such
Tranche, for the account of the Applicable Tranche Lenders to which such payment is owed, at
such Funding Agent’s Office in the Primary Currency of such Tranche and in Same Day Funds not
later than 12:00 noon, Applicable Time (and by 10:00 a.m., Brussels time, for payments under
the Euro Tranche), on the date specified herein. Except as otherwise expressly provided
herein, all payments by a Borrower under a Tranche with respect to principal and interest on
Loans under such Tranche that are denominated in an Alternative Currency of such Tranche shall
be made to the applicable Funding Agent, for the account of the Applicable Tranche Lenders to
which such payment is owed, at the applicable Funding Agent’s Office in such Alternative
Currency and in Same Day Funds not later than the Applicable Time specified by such Funding
Agent on the dates specified herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
applicable Funding Agent may require that any payments due under this Agreement be made in the
Primary Location (as defined below). If, for any reason, any Borrower is prohibited by any
Law from making any required payment hereunder in an Alternative Currency, such Borrower shall
make such payment in the Primary Currency in the Dollar Equivalent, Euro Equivalent, or Yen
Equivalent, as applicable, of such Alternative Currency payment amount. For purposes of this
Section, “Primary Location” means, with respect to the U.S. Tranche, the United
States; with respect to the Canadian Tranche, Canada; with respect to the Euro Tranche, The
Netherlands; with respect to the Yen Tranche, Japan; with respect to the KRW Tranche, Korea;
and with respect to any Supplemental Tranche, the Supplemental Primary Location.
8.8.3 Distribution of Payments. With respect to payments and fees as set forth
herein to be paid to a Funding Agent, the applicable Funding Agent will promptly distribute to
each applicable Lender in such Tranche its Applicable Tranche Percentage (or other applicable
share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such
Lender’s Lending Office. With respect to payments as set forth herein to be paid to Global
Administrative Agent, Global Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its
Applicable Global Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in
like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments
received by Global Administrative Agent (a) after 1:00 p.m., in the case of payments in
Dollars, or (b) after the Applicable Time specified by
Global Administrative Agent in the case of payments in an Alternative Currency, shall in
each case be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest
or fee shall continue to accrue. All payments received by a Funding Agent (i) after 1:00
p.m., Applicable Time, in the case of payments in the Primary Currency of the applicable
Tranche, or (ii) after the Applicable Time specified by such Funding Agent in the case of
payments in an Alternative Currency of such Tranche, shall in each case be deemed received on
the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.
If any payment to be made by any Borrower shall become due on a day other than a Business Day,
payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be
reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be. After the Initial Maturity Date,
any payments or prepayments to be applied to the Outstanding Amount of any Loans under a
particular Tranche shall be applied to the Loans held by the Applicable Tranche Lenders
without a Funding Shortfall (each such Lender,
Global Senior Credit Agreement
113
a “Payment Lender”) ratably (based upon
the Outstanding Amount of all Loans in the applicable Tranche held by all Payment Lenders in
that Tranche) until each Lender holds its Applicable Tranche Percentage of the Outstanding
Amount of all Loans under the applicable Tranche, and the balance, if any, of such payments or
prepayments shall be applied to the Loans of all Applicable Tranche Lenders in accordance with
their respective Applicable Tranche Percentages.
8.8.4 Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Agent. Unless the applicable Funding
Agent shall have received notice from Global Administrative Agent or a Lender in the same
Tranche as the Funding Agent prior to the proposed date of any Committed Borrowing that such
Lender will not make available to such Funding Agent such Lender’s share of such Committed
Borrowing, such Funding Agent may assume that such Lender directly or through the applicable
Fronting Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with the requirements
of the applicable Tranche and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the
applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made
its share of the applicable Committed Borrowing available directly or through the applicable
Fronting Lender to the applicable Funding Agent, then the applicable Lender and the applicable
Borrower severally agree to pay to such Funding Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding
amount in the same currency and in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from the
date such amount is made available to such Borrower to the date of payment to such Funding
Agent, at (a) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the Overnight Rate and (b)
in the case of a payment to be made by such Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the
applicable Loans. If such Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to such Funding
Agent for the same or an overlapping period, such Funding Agent shall promptly remit to such
Borrower the amount of such interest paid by such Borrower for such period. If such Lender
pays its share of the applicable Committed Borrowing directly or through the applicable
Fronting Lender to such Funding Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s
Committed Loan included in such Committed Borrowing. Any payment by a Borrower pursuant to
this Section shall be without prejudice to any claim such Borrower may have against a Lender
that shall have failed to make such payment to the applicable Funding Agent.
8.8.5 Payments by Borrowers; Presumptions by Agents. Unless the applicable Agent
shall have received notice from the applicable Borrower prior to the date on which any payment
is due to such Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders or the applicable L/C Issuer
hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment, such Agent may assume that such
Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon
such assumption, distribute to the applicable Lenders or the applicable L/C Issuer, as the
case may be, the amount due. In such event, if such Borrower has not in fact made such
payment, then each Lender or applicable L/C Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to
repay to such Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or such L/C
Issuer, in the same currency and in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from
the date such amount is distributed to it to the date of payment to such Agent, at the
Overnight Rate. A notice by the applicable Agent to any Lender or Borrower with respect to
any amount owing under this Section 8.8.5 shall be conclusive, absent demonstrable
error.
Global Senior Credit Agreement
114
8.8.6 Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available
directly or through the applicable Fronting Lender to the applicable Funding Agent funds for
any Loan to be made by such Lender to any Borrower as provided in this Agreement, and such
funds are not made available to such Borrower by such Agent because the conditions to such
Loan set forth in Article X are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms
hereof, such Agent shall promptly return such funds (in like funds as received from such
Lender) to such Lender, plus interest thereon from the date funds were made available
to such Agent by such Lender to the date such amount is returned by such Agent to such Lender,
at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect.
8.8.7 Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of Lenders hereunder to
make Committed Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit, Fronting Loans, and Swing
Line Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 16.4.3 are several and not joint.
The failure of any Lender to make any Committed Loan, to fund any such participation or to
make any payment under Section 16.4.3 on any date required hereunder shall not relieve
any other Lender of its corresponding obligation (if any) to do so on such date, and no Lender
shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Committed Loan, to
purchase any such participation, or to make any payment under Section 16.4.3.
8.8.8 Funding Source. Subject to Section 9.6.1, (a) each Lender may, at
its option, make any Loan available to any Borrower by causing any foreign or domestic branch
or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided, that any exercise of such
option shall not affect the obligation of such Borrower in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement; and (b) nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds
for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender
that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.
8.9 Sharing of Payments by Lenders in a Tranche. If any Lender, other than with respect to
any cash collateral obtained by an L/C Issuer in connection with arrangements made to address
the risk with respect to a Defaulting Lender, shall, by exercising any right of setoff or
counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the
Committed Loans made by it in a particular Tranche, or the participations in L/C Obligations or in
Swing Line Loans held by it in such Tranche resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a
proportion of the aggregate amount of such Committed Loans or participations and accrued interest
in such Tranche greater than its pro rata share for such Tranche as provided
herein, then Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the applicable Funding Agent
of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Committed Loans and
subparticipations in L/C Obligations, Swing Line Loans, and Fronting Loans of the other Lenders in
the same Tranche, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all
such payments shall be shared by Lenders in such Tranche ratably in accordance with the aggregate
amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Committed Loans and other amounts
owing them in such Tranche, provided that:
(a) if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or
any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations
Global Senior Credit Agreement
115
or
subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent
of such recovery, without interest; and
(b) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any
payment made by a Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of
this Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the
assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Committed Loans or
subparticipations in L/C Obligations, Swing Line Loans, or Fronting Loans to any
assignee or participant, other than to ProLogis or any Eligible Affiliate thereof
(as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply).
Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under
applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements
may exercise against such Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such
participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of
such participation.
8.10 Extension of Initial Maturity Date.
8.10.1 Extension of Initial Maturity Date. Certain Lenders have consented to
extend all or a portion of their obligations and Commitments under certain Tranches and/or the
Fronting Commitments (with respect to a Fronting Lender) to the Extended Maturity Date in the
Third Amendment. Each such consent shall be irrevocable (subject to clause (a) of
Section 8.10.2) and the Extended Commitments of each such Lender are binding on such
Lender and any assignee of such Extended Commitments. After the Third Amendment Effective
Date, existing Lenders and Subsequent Lenders may elect to extend their obligations and
Commitments under any Tranche to the Extended Maturity Date by utilizing the accordion option
set forth in Section 8.13.
8.10.2 Effect of Early Termination of Initial Commitments or Failure to Make Required
Payments on the Initial Maturity Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, if (a) all Initial Commitments terminate prior to October 6, 2010, or (b) all
payments required by Sections 8.3(a) and (b) are not made on or before October
6, 2010 so that, after such date, (i) there is any Canadian Outstanding Amount or any KRW
Outstanding Amount, or (ii) the U.S. Credit Exposure of any Person exceeds such Person’s U.S.
Commitment, the Euro Credit Exposure of any Person exceeds such Person’s Euro Commitment or
the Yen Credit Exposure of any Person exceeds such Person’s Yen Commitment (any Person with
any such excess exposure, an “Unpaid Lender”), then, so long as any such circumstance
continues, (A) each reference to a “Lender” herein shall be deemed to include any Person that
has any U.S. Credit Exposure, Canadian Credit Exposure, Euro Credit Exposure, Yen Credit
Exposure or KRW Credit Exposure (and similar definitions, such as U.S. Lender, Canadian
Lender, Euro Lender, Yen Lender or KRW Lender, shall be adjusted accordingly); and (B) in the
case of clause (b) above, (I) no Credit Extension may be made hereunder or any
transfers of any Letters of Credit from one Tranche to another Tranche, (II) all participation
obligations of the Lenders under any Tranche shall be based upon the Initial Commitments of
the Lenders under such Tranche; (III) any determination of a Lender’s “Applicable Global
Percentage” shall be based upon (x) the Dollar Equivalent amount of the total of such Lender’s
U.S. Credit Exposure, Euro Credit Exposure, Canadian Credit Exposure, Yen Credit Exposure and
KRW Credit Exposure plus the Dollar Equivalent amount of such Lender’s unused Commitments as a
percentage of (y) the Total Global Outstandings plus the Dollar Equivalent amount of all
unused Commitments; (IV) any determination of a Lender’s “Applicable Tranche Percentage” under
any Tranche shall be based upon (x) such Lender’s U.S. Credit Exposure, Euro
Global Senior Credit Agreement
116
Credit Exposure,
Canadian Credit Exposure, Yen Credit Exposure or KRW Credit Exposure, as applicable, under
such Tranche plus the amount of such Lender’s unused Commitment under such Tranche as a
percentage of (y) the Total Tranche Outstandings under such Tranche plus the unused amount of
the Aggregate Tranche Commitments under such Tranche; and (V) unless Global Administrative
Agent has exercised its rights under Sections 14.2(a) and (b), all payments by
or on behalf of any Borrower under the U.S. Tranche, the Euro Tranche and the Yen Tranche
shall be applied ratably to the unpaid principal, interest and fees payable to the Unpaid
Lenders under such Tranche. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in clause (b) of the
preceding sentence shall constitute a waiver of any failure to make any payment required by
Section 8.3(a) or (b) or any other Event of Default or limit or impair any
right of Agents, L/C Issuers, and Lenders under Section 14.2.
8.10.3 Certain Amendments and Waivers. (a) To the extent that an amendment (but
not a waiver) entered into on or after the Third Amendment Effective Date amends any provision
of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and such modification will stay in effect after
the Initial Maturity Date, or (b) to the extent that a waiver of any provision of this
Agreement entered into on or after the Third Amendment Effective Date becomes effective within
ninety (90) days prior to the Initial Maturity Date, then such amendment or waiver, as
applicable, shall only be effective until the Initial Maturity Date, unless such amendment or
waiver, as applicable, is also signed in writing by Lenders that hold more than fifty percent
(50%) of the Dollar Equivalent amount of the aggregate Extended Commitments as of the date of
such amendment.
8.11 Additional Affiliate Borrowers.
8.11.1 Procedures for Adding Affiliate Borrowers. ProLogis may, upon at least
fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice to the applicable Funding Agent (which shall promptly
notify the Applicable Tranche Lenders) (or (x) such lesser period as may be agreed to by such
Funding Agent or (y) such longer period as is determined by such Funding Agent to be
reasonably necessary for the applicable parties to comply with any governmental or regulatory
requirements), request that any Eligible Affiliate become an Affiliate Borrower by delivering
the Organization Documents of such Eligible Affiliate to such Funding Agent (with a copy to
Global Administrative Agent). At least five (5) Business Days prior to an Eligible Affiliate
becoming an Affiliate Borrower, ProLogis shall deliver the drafts of the documents referenced
in clauses (b)(i) and (ii) below, to the applicable Funding Agent (with a copy
to Global Administrative Agent). On or prior to the date on which an Eligible Affiliate
becoming an Affiliate Borrower, ProLogis shall deliver the following to the applicable Funding
Agent (with a copy to Global Administrative Agent), in each case reasonably acceptable to such
Funding Agent, (a) a Borrower Accession Agreement duly executed by ProLogis and such Eligible
Affiliate that will, among other things, designate the applicable Tranche under which such
Eligible Affiliate
Global Senior Credit Agreement
117
will be an Affiliate Borrower (the “Requested Tranche”), and (b)
the following documents relating to such Eligible Affiliate: (i) an opinion of such Eligible
Affiliate’s counsel reasonably acceptable to such Funding Agent (other than for Short Term
Affiliate Borrowers and Property Fund Borrowers; provided that if any Property Fund
Borrower has any outstanding Loans or L/C Obligations under this Agreement for one hundred and
eighty (180) consecutive days, then such Borrower shall provide an opinion of such Borrower’s
counsel reasonably acceptable to the applicable Funding Agent on or before the last day of
such one hundred and eighty (180) day period); (ii) an officer’s certificate certifying (A)
the Organization Documents of such Eligible Affiliate, (B) resolutions of such Eligible
Affiliate’s Board of Directors or other governing body authorizing the execution, delivery,
and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as applicable, certified as
being in full force and effect without modification or amendment, and (C) signatures and
incumbency of officers of such Eligible Affiliate; (iii) certificates of existence and good
standing for such Eligible Affiliate issued by its state of organization or the equivalent
certificates, if any, from the applicable Governmental Authorities for any non-U.S. Eligible
Affiliate; (iv) if the Requested Tranche is the Yen Tranche and the proposed Affiliate
Borrower is not organized under the Laws of Japan, an explanation in reasonable detail as to
why, in relation to the project in question, a TMK is not being used as an Additional
Affiliate Borrower; and (v) any additional information regarding such Eligible Affiliate that
the applicable Funding Agent or any Applicable Tranche Lender may reasonably request under
Section 16.17 or 16.18, or otherwise. Upon receipt by the applicable Funding
Agent of the items referenced in this Section 8.11, each in form and substance
reasonably acceptable to such Funding Agent and its counsel, and subject to
Section 8.11.3, such Eligible Affiliate shall become an Affiliate Borrower under the
Requested Tranche and assume all the rights, benefits, and obligations of an Affiliate
Borrower under such Requested Tranche unless on such date a Default exists and is continuing
or would occur as a result of such Eligible Affiliate becoming an Affiliate Borrower.
Furthermore, the applicable Funding Agent shall promptly notify each
Applicable Tranche Lender of the addition of any Affiliate Borrower pursuant to this
Section 8.11.1.
8.11.2 Existing Borrowers. ProLogis may, upon at least fifteen (15) days’ prior
written notice to the applicable Funding Agent (which shall promptly notify the Applicable
Tranche Lenders) (or (x) such lesser period as may be agreed to by such Funding Agent or
(y) such longer period as is determined by such Funding Agent to be reasonably necessary for
the applicable parties to comply with any governmental or regulatory requirements), request
that any existing Borrower under one Tranche become Borrower under a different Tranche. On or
prior to the date on which such existing Borrower becomes a Borrower under a different
Tranche, ProLogis shall deliver the following to such Funding Agent (with a copy to Global
Administrative Agent), in each case reasonably acceptable to such Funding Agent, (a) a
Borrower Accession Agreement duly executed by ProLogis and such existing Borrower that will,
among other things, designate the applicable Tranche under which such existing Borrower will
also become a Borrower (the “Additional Tranche”), and (b) any information regarding
such existing Borrower that the applicable Funding Agent or any Applicable Tranche Lender may
reasonably request under Section 16.17 or 16.18, or otherwise. Upon receipt
by the applicable Funding Agent of the items referenced in this Section 8.11.2, each
in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such Funding
Global Senior Credit Agreement
118
Agent and its counsel, and subject
to Section 8.11.3, such existing Borrower shall become a Borrower under the Additional
Tranche unless on such date a Default exists or would occur as a result of such existing
Borrower becoming a Borrower under the Tranche. Furthermore, the applicable Funding Agent
shall promptly notify each Applicable Tranche Lender of the addition of a Borrower under an
Additional Tranche pursuant to this Section 8.11.2.
8.11.3 Limitations. In addition to the conditions set forth in
Sections 8.11.1 and 8.11.2, to the extent applicable, neither (a) an Eligible
Affiliate which would qualify as a Foreign Borrower under the Requested Tranche in which it
will be a Borrower, nor (b) an existing Borrower under one Tranche which would otherwise
qualify as Foreign Borrower under the Additional Tranche, may be a Borrower under such
Requested Tranche or Additional Tranche, as applicable, unless the applicable Funding Agent is
reasonably satisfied that the addition of such Eligible Affiliate or existing Borrower to such
Requested Tranche or Additional Tranche, as applicable, will not (i) violate any Laws, (ii)
cause the representations set forth in Section 16.18 to be inaccurate, (iii)
materially impair the ability of Applicable Tranche Lenders to assign their Commitments or
Loans under such Requested Tranche or Additional Tranche, as applicable, or (iv) have any
other material adverse effect on the Applicable Tranche Lenders. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the provisions of this Section 8.11.3 (other than clause (i) above)
shall not be conditions to an Eligible Affiliate that is organized under the Laws of a
Participating Member State becoming a Euro Borrower.
8.11.4 Qualification Status. Upon the delivery of a notice by the applicable
Funding Agent of a request by ProLogis to add an Eligible Affiliate as a Borrower or to add an
existing Borrower to an Additional Tranche pursuant to Section 8.11.1 or
8.11.2, as applicable, the applicable Funding Agent shall request that each Applicable
Tranche Lender represent and warrant to ProLogis and Funding Agent as to whether such
Applicable Tranche Lender is capable of making a Committed Loan to such Eligible
Affiliate without the imposition of any withholding taxes. Each Lender agrees that it shall
respond to any such request within three (3) Business Days; provided that if an
Applicable Tranche Lender does not respond within the required time period, then the
applicable Funding Agent may deem such Applicable Tranche Lender to be unable to make a
Committed Loan to such Eligible Affiliate without the imposition of a withholding tax.
Furthermore, Global Administrative Agent may revise Annex 2 to the Assignment and
Assumption reflecting a new Borrower or the addition of a Borrower to an Additional Tranche.
8.12 Reallocation of Commitments.
8.12.1 Reallocation Procedures. Global Administrative Agent may, from time to
time during the Extended Availability Period at the written request of ProLogis (which request
shall also be sent to each Funding Agent of an affected Tranche) (a “Reallocation
Request”), increase the Aggregate Tranche Commitment under one Available Tranche with a
corresponding reduction of the Aggregate Tranche Commitment under a different Available
Tranche by (a) utilizing the Pre-Approved Reallocations of certain Lenders (each a
“Pre-Approved Lender”), if the allocation occurs prior to the Initial Maturity Date,
or
Global Senior Credit Agreement
119
(b) reallocating the Commitment of any Lender (each an “Allocating Lender”),
subject to the following conditions:
(i) at the time of such Reallocation Request, ProLogis specifies which
Available Tranche shall be increased and which Available Tranche shall be
decreased, and whether any Pre-Approved Reallocation shall be utilized in
such reallocation;
(ii) the amount of the increase in an Available Tranche shall be equal
to the Foreign Currency Equivalent amount of the corresponding decrease in
the other Available Tranche;
(iii) each Allocating Lender and Pre-Approved Lender satisfies the
requirements of an Eligible Assignee under the Available Tranche in which
the Aggregate Tranche Commitment is being increased;
(iv) each Allocating Lender acknowledges in writing to Global
Administrative Agent and ProLogis that it has agreed that its Commitment
will be reallocated hereunder (which acknowledgment shall be made in such
Lender’s sole discretion); provided that a Pre-Approved Reallocation
shall be effective without any further acceptances under this
Section 8.12 by a Lender that has agreed to a Pre-Approved
Reallocation;
(v) any request for a reallocation shall be in a minimum amount agreed
to by the applicable Funding Agents;
(vi) ProLogis may make a maximum of one (1) request per calendar
quarter;
(vii) with respect to an increase of the Aggregate Tranche Commitment
under the Yen Tranche, each Allocating Lender and each Pre-Approved Lender
must qualify as an institution that may make Loans to a TMK under Japanese
Laws upon providing the increase of its Commitment;
(viii) no reduction in any Aggregate Tranche Commitment shall be
permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments
hereunder, the Total Tranche Outstandings under such Tranche would exceed
the Aggregate Tranche Commitment under such Tranche;
(ix) the amount of the increase in the applicable Aggregate Tranche
Commitment shall be in a minimum Dollar Equivalent amount of $5,000,000;
(x) no Default exists; and
Global Senior Credit Agreement
120
(xi) unless otherwise agreed among the applicable Funding Agent, the
affected Lender and the applicable Borrowers (which agreement may include a
phase-in of the applicable increase and/or Interest Periods with any
agreed-upon length), the applicable Borrowers shall prepay any Committed
Loans outstanding on the Reallocation Effective Date (and pay any additional
amounts required pursuant to Section 9.5) to the extent necessary to
keep the outstanding Committed Loans in the affected Available Tranches
ratable with any revised Applicable Tranche Percentages arising from any
nonratable increase or decrease in any Commitments of any Lenders under this
Section 8.12.
8.12.2 Effectiveness of Reallocation. Upon the request of Global Administrative
Agent contemporaneously with any reallocation completed in accordance with Section
8.12.1, each Funding Agent of an affected Tranche shall provide to Global Administrative
Agent a new (i) Schedule 2.1-1 with respect to each reallocation of the Initial
Commitments, or (ii) Schedule 2.1-2 with respect to each reallocation of the Extended
Commitments, for its Tranche reflecting any proposed reallocation. In addition, Global
Administrative Agent, the applicable Funding Agents, and ProLogis shall determine the
effective date (the “Reallocation Effective Date”) of such reallocation,
provided that any Pre-Approved Reallocations shall be effective no more than ten (10)
Business Days after the relevant Reallocation Request, and Global Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify ProLogis and the affected Funding Agents of the Reallocation Effective Date.
After any Reallocation Effective Date and the receipt of a revised (i) Schedule 2.1-1
with respect to each reallocation of the Initial Commitments, or (ii) Schedule 2.1-2
with respect to each reallocation of the Extended Commitments (if requested by Global
Administrative Agent) from each applicable Funding Agent, Global Administrative Agent shall
promptly provide to each Lender in the affected Tranches and to ProLogis a new (i)
Schedule 2.1-1 with respect to each reallocation of the Initial Commitments, or (ii)
Schedule 2.1-2 with respect to each reallocation of the Extended Commitments for the
affected Tranches.
8.13 Increase in Commitments.
8.13.1 Increase Procedures. From time to time after the Closing Date to the
Extended Maturity Date, ProLogis may, by written request (an “Increase Request”) to
Global Administrative Agent and the Funding Agents for each affected Tranche, increase any
Aggregate Tranche Commitment by (a) admitting additional Lenders hereunder (each a
“Subsequent Lender”) or (b) increasing the Commitment of any existing Lender (each an
“Increasing Lender”), subject to the following conditions:
(i) at the time of such Increase Request, ProLogis specifies (x) its
requested allocation of the requested increase in the Aggregate Tranche
Commitments to each Tranche, and (y) if the increase occurs prior to the
Initial Maturity Date, the amount of the requested increase allocated to
each Tranche and whether such requested increase is for an Initial
Commitment or an Extended Commitment;
(ii) each Subsequent Lender is an Eligible Assignee;
Global Senior Credit Agreement
121
(iii) each Subsequent Lender executes and delivers to Global
Administrative Agent a Joinder Agreement substantially in the form of
Exhibit J, which may be modified to the extent that such Subsequent
Lender will be party to a Supplemental Tranche (a copy of which Global
Administrative Agent will deliver to each applicable Funding Agent);
(iv) each Increasing Lender executes and delivers to Global
Administrative Agent an increase certificate substantially in the form of
Exhibit K (a copy of which Global Administrative Agent will deliver
to each applicable Funding Agent);
(v) (1) the amount of all increases in the Aggregate Tranche
Commitments that are Initial Commitments pursuant to this
Section 8.13 shall not exceed the Dollar Equivalent of $900,000,000
in the aggregate; it being understood that in determining the aggregate
increase amount for purposes of this clause (v), each increase
amount shall equal the Dollar Equivalent amount of such increase amount as
determined on the corresponding effective date of the increase in the
Aggregate Tranche Commitments; and (2) after giving effect to each such
increase, the Dollar Equivalent of the Aggregate Tranche Commitments that
are Extended Commitments shall not exceed $2,750,000,000 in the aggregate as
determined on the applicable effective date of such increase;
(vi) with respect to an increase of the Yen Aggregate Commitments, each
Subsequent Lender shall be an institution from which a TMK may, pursuant to
the Laws of Japan, borrow money;
(vii) the Dollar Equivalent of each increase in the Aggregate Tranche
Commitment shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 (or,
with respect to any increase of the Extended Commitments, $25,000,000
or such lesser amount as Global Administrative Agent may agree or as shall
be necessary for the Dollar Equivalent of the Aggregate Tranche Commitments
to reach $2,750,000,000 in the aggregate);
(viii) no admission of any Subsequent Lender shall increase the
Commitment of any existing Lender without the written consent of such
Lender;
(ix) no Default exists; and
(x) unless otherwise agreed among the applicable Funding Agent, the
affected Lenders, and the applicable Borrowers (which agreement may include
a phase-in of the applicable increase and/or Interest Periods with any
agreed-upon length), the applicable Borrowers shall prepay any Committed
Loans outstanding on the Increase Effective Date (and pay any additional
amounts required pursuant to Section 9.5) to
Global Senior Credit Agreement
122
the extent necessary to
keep the outstanding Committed Loans in the affected Tranches ratable with
any revised Applicable Tranche Percentages arising from any nonratable
increase or decrease in any Commitments of any Lender under this
Section 8.13.
8.13.2 Effectiveness of Increase. Upon the request of Global Administrative
Agent, the Funding Agent of each affected Tranche shall provide to Global Administrative Agent
a new (i) Schedule 2.1-1 with respect to each increase of the Initial Commitments, or
(ii) Schedule 2.1-2 with respect to each increase of the Extended Commitments for such
Tranche reflecting the Applicable Tranche Percentage of the Lenders under such Tranche after
giving effect to the proposed increase pursuant to this Section 8.13. In addition,
Global Administrative Agent, the applicable Funding Agents, and ProLogis shall determine the
effective date (the “Increase Effective Date”) of each increase in an Aggregate
Tranche Commitment under this Section 8.13, and Global Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify ProLogis, the affected Funding Agents, and each Lender of the Increase
Effective Date. After the Increase Effective Date and receipt of a revised (i)
Schedule 2.1-1 with respect to each increase of the Initial Commitments, or (ii)
Schedule 2.1-2 with respect to each increase of the Extended Commitments (if
requested by Global Administrative Agent) from each applicable Funding Agent, Global
Administrative Agent shall promptly provide to each Lender and to ProLogis a new (i)
Schedule 2.1-1 with respect to each increase of the Initial Commitments, or (ii)
Schedule 2.1-2 with respect to each increase of the Extended Commitments to this
Agreement.
8.13.3 Conflicting Provisions. This Section shall supersede any provisions in
Sections 8.9 or 16.1 to the contrary.
8.14 Establishment of Supplemental Tranche.
8.14.1 Supplemental Tranche Request. At the time of any Increase Request under
Section 8.13, ProLogis may from time to time request, with the same approval
requirements of the Increase Request (each such request, a “Supplemental Tranche
Request”), certain Lenders to provide a supplemental tranche for loans in which the
primary currency of such supplemental tranche is not one of the currencies set forth in the
definition of “Primary Currency” at the time of such Supplemental Tranche Request
(each such new Tranche, a “Supplemental Tranche”).
8.14.2 Supplemental Addendums. Each Supplemental Tranche Request shall be made
in the form of an addendum substantially in the form of Exhibit H (a “Supplemental
Addendum”) and sent to Global Administrative Agent and shall set forth (a) the proposed
Primary Currency and Alternative Currencies of such Supplemental Tranche, (b) the proposed
Supplemental Primary Location, (c) the proposed interest types and rates for such Supplemental
Tranche, (d) the type and amount of any subfacilities of such Supplemental Tranche, (e) the
proposed borrowers under such Tranche, and (f) any other specific terms of such Supplemental
Tranche that ProLogis deems necessary; provided that the availability period and
maturity of any loans under the Supplemental Tranche shall be the same as the U.S. Tranche.
Promptly after a Supplemental Tranche Request, ProLogis shall, subject to the approval of
Global Administrative Agent (which shall not be unreasonably
Global Senior Credit Agreement
123
withheld or delayed) appoint the
proposed Funding Agent for such requested Supplemental Tranche.
8.14.3 Conditions to Supplemental Tranche. As conditions precedent to the
addition of a Supplemental Tranche to this Agreement, (a) each of the conditions set forth in
Section 8.13 must be satisfied and there must be an increase in the Aggregate Tranche
Commitments, (b) each Lender providing a commitment under the Supplemental Tranche must be an
Increasing Lender or Subsequent Lender, (c) each Lender providing a commitment under such
Supplemental Tranche, the proposed Funding Agent for such Supplemental Tranche, and Global
Administrative Agent must execute the requested Supplemental Addendum, (d) each of the
proposed borrowers under such Supplemental Tranche shall be an existing Borrower or shall have
complied with Section 8.11, and (e) any other documents or certificates that shall be
reasonably requested by Global Administrative Agent in connection with the addition of the
Supplemental Tranche shall have been delivered Global Administrative Agent in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Global Administrative Agent.
8.14.4 Effectiveness of Supplemental Tranche. If a Supplemental Tranche Request
is accepted in accordance with this Section, Global Administrative Agent, the applicable
Funding Agent, and ProLogis shall determine the effective date of such Supplemental Tranche
(the “Supplemental Tranche Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such
Supplemental Tranche. Global Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute a revised (i)
Schedule 2.1-1 with respect to the Initial Commitments, or (ii) Schedule 2.1-2
with respect to the Extended Commitments, to each Lender reflecting such new Supplemental
Tranche and notify each Lender of the Supplemental Tranche Effective Date.
ARTICLE IX
TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY
9.1 Taxes.
9.1.1 Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any
obligation of any Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and
clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes,
provided that if the Borrower shall be required by applicable law to deduct any
Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes) from such payments, then (a) the sum payable
shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including
deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Credit
Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been
made, (b) such Borrower shall make such deductions and (c) such Borrower shall timely pay the
full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
9.1.2 Indemnification by Borrowers. The applicable Borrower shall indemnify each
Credit Party, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or
asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid or payable by
Global Senior Credit Agreement
124
such
Credit Party on or with respect to any payment made to such Credit Party by or on account of
such Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document, and any penalties, interest and
reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant
Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered
to a Borrower by a Lender or an L/C Issuer (with a copy to Global Administrative Agent), or by
Global Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or L/C Issuer, shall be
conclusive absent demonstrable error.
9.1.3 Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by any Borrower to a Governmental Authority, such Borrower
shall deliver to Global Administrative Agent the original or a copy of a receipt issued by
such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such
payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Global Administrative
Agent.
9.1.4 Status of Lenders. Any Foreign Lender or Non-U.S. Lender that is entitled
to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in
which a Borrower is resident for tax purposes or is otherwise subject to tax, or any treaty to
which any such jurisdiction is a party or which otherwise benefits such Lender, with respect
to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to ProLogis (with a copy
to Global Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or
reasonably requested by ProLogis or Global Administrative Agent, such properly completed and
executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made
without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if
requested by ProLogis or Global Administrative Agent, shall deliver such
other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by ProLogis or
Global Administrative Agent as will enable ProLogis or Global Administrative Agent to
determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting
requirements.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if a Borrower is resident for tax purposes
in the United States, has become effectively connected with a United States trade or business, is a
disregarded entity (as defined in Treasury Regulation section 301.7701-3 of the Code) of a resident
of the United States or is otherwise subject to tax in the United States, any Non-U.S. Lender shall
deliver to ProLogis and Global Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested
by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this
Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of ProLogis or Global Administrative
Agent or an applicable Funding Agent, but only if such Non-U.S. Lender is legally entitled to do
so), whichever of the following is applicable:
(a) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming
eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a
party,
(b) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI,
Global Senior Credit Agreement
125
(c) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY,
(d) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for
portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect
that such Non-U.S. Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of section
881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the applicable Borrower
within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign
corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) duly completed
copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or
(e) any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming
exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax duly
completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by
applicable law to permit ProLogis to determine the withholding or deduction required
to be made.
Without limiting the obligations of Lenders set forth above regarding delivery of
certain forms and documents to establish each Lender’s status for U.S. withholding tax
purposes, each Lender agrees promptly to deliver to Global Administrative Agent, each
applicable Funding Agent, or ProLogis, as such Agent or ProLogis shall reasonably request,
on or prior to the Closing Date, and in a timely fashion thereafter, such other documents
and forms required by any relevant taxing authority under the Laws of any other
jurisdiction, duly executed and completed by such Lender, as are required under such Laws to
confirm such Lender’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of,
applicable withholding taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such
Lender outside of the U.S. by Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise to
establish such Lender’s status for withholding tax purposes in such other jurisdiction.
Each Lender shall promptly (i) notify Global Administrative Agent and each applicable
Funding Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any
claimed exemption from or reduction of Taxes or other Taxes, and (ii) take such steps as
shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender,
and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its Lending Office) to
avoid any requirement of applicable Law that any Borrower make any deduction or withholding
for taxes from amounts payable to such Lender. Additionally, each Borrower shall promptly
deliver to the applicable Credit Party, as such Credit Party shall reasonably request, on or
prior to the Closing Date, and in a timely fashion thereafter, such documents and forms
required by any relevant taxing authorities under the Laws of any jurisdiction, duly
executed and completed by such Borrower, as are required to be furnished by such Credit
Party under such Laws in connection with any payment by such Credit Party of Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes, or otherwise in connection with the Loan Documents, with respect to
such jurisdiction.
Global Senior Credit Agreement
126
9.1.5 Exemption Representation.
(a) Each Lender represents and warrants (such Lender’s “Exemption
Representation”) to the Borrowers that, as of the date of this Agreement or, in
the case of a Person that becomes a Lender after the Closing Date, as of the date
such Person becomes a party hereto (and, in the case of a Lender that agrees to make
Loans under a Tranche, as of the date such agreement become effective), except as
specified in writing to Global Administrative Agent, the applicable Funding Agent
and ProLogis prior to the date of the applicable Exemption Representation, it is
entitled to receive payments from each Borrower under each Tranche with respect to
which it has a commitment to make Loans without any reduction or withholding in
respect of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes and without any amount being
required to be paid by any applicable Borrower pursuant to Section 9.1.2;
provided that the Exemption Representation shall not apply to any
withholding tax imposed at any time on payments made by or on behalf of a Foreign
Obligor.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Borrower shall be
obligated to pay any amount under this Section 9.1 to, or for the benefit
of, any Lender to the extent that such amount would not have been required to be
paid if (i) such Lender’s Exemption Representation had been accurate or (ii) such
Lender had complied with its obligations under Section 9.1.4.
9.1.6 Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any Credit Party determines, in its sole
discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by
any Borrower or with respect to which any Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to
this Section, it shall pay to such Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the
extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Borrower under this
Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of such Credit Party, and without interest (other than
any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund),
provided that such Borrower, upon the request of such Credit Party, agrees to repay
the amount paid over to such Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges
imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Credit Party in the event such Credit
Party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section shall not
be construed to require any Credit Party to make available its tax returns (or any other
information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any Borrower or any other
Person.
9.2 Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any
Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable Lending
Office to make, maintain or fund Eurocurrency Rate Loans in any currency, or to determine or charge
interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material
restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, any
applicable currency in the applicable interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to
ProLogis through the applicable Funding Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make, continue or
convert Loans to Eurocurrency Rate Loans in the affected currency shall be suspended until such
Global Senior Credit Agreement
127
Lender notifies Global Administrative Agent and ProLogis that the circumstances giving rise to such
determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the applicable Borrower shall, upon
demand from such Lender (with a copy to the applicable Funding Agent), prepay or, if applicable and
such Loans are denominated in Dollars under the U.S. Tranche, Canadian Dollars under the Canadian
Tranche, Yen under the Yen Tranche or Euro under the Euro Tranche, convert all applicable
Eurocurrency Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans, ABR Rate Loans, or Substitute Rate
Loans, as applicable, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor or on such earlier
date on which such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans. Upon
any such prepayment or conversion, the applicable Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the
amount so prepaid or converted.
9.3 Inability to Determine Rates.
9.3.1 Determination of Rates. If the Tranche Required Lenders determine for
their Tranche (other than with respect to the Euro Tranche) that for any reason in connection
with any request for Eurocurrency Rate Loans or BA Rate Loans or a conversion to or
continuation thereof that (a) deposits are not being offered to banks in the applicable
interbank market for the currency, amount and Interest Period for such Loans, (b) adequate and
reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurocurrency Rate or BA Rate, as applicable,
for the requested Interest Period for such Loans, or (c) the Eurocurrency Rate or BA Rate, as
applicable, for any requested Interest Period for such Loans does not adequately and fairly
reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loans for the requested Interest Period, the
applicable Funding Agent will promptly so notify ProLogis, each Borrower in the affected
Tranche and each Lender in the affected Tranche. Thereafter, the obligation of such Lenders
to make or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Loans or BA Rate Loans in the affected currency or
currencies for the applicable Interest Period in the affected Tranche shall be suspended until
such Funding Agent (upon the instruction of the applicable Tranche Required Lenders) revokes
such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the applicable Borrower may revoke any pending
request for a Borrowing of,
conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or BA Rate Loans, as applicable,
in the affected currency or currencies or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such
request into a request for a Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans under the U.S. Tranche or
ABR Rate Loans under the Canadian Tranche or the Yen Tranche, as applicable, in the amount
specified therein, and with respect to Loans under the U.S. Tranche and the Yen Tranche, such
Loans shall be converted to the Primary Currency of the such Tranche in the Foreign Currency
Equivalent amount of such Loans to the extent such Loans are not in the Primary Currency of
the applicable Tranche at such time.
9.3.2 Market Disruptions. (a) If Euro Lenders (including any applicable Fronting
Lenders) constituting at least thirty-five percent (35%) of the Euro Aggregate Commitments or
if the Euro Aggregate Commitments have been terminated, Euro Lenders holding in the aggregate
at least thirty-five percent (35%) of the Euro Total Outstandings determine that a requested
Borrowing or continuation is affected by an event of the type described in
Section 9.3.1(a), (b) or (c), or (b) if the Eurocurrency Rate is to
be determined by reference to Reference Banks at or about 11:00 a.m., Brussels time, on the
determination date for the Interest Period applicable to a Borrowing or continuation, and none
of the Reference Banks supplies a rate for the purpose of determining the
Global Senior Credit Agreement
128
Eurocurrency Rate
for such Borrowing or continuation, then Euro Funding Agent will promptly so notify ProLogis,
each Euro Borrower, and each Euro Lender of such event. Thereafter, the obligation of Euro
Lenders to make or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Loans in the currency of the requested Borrowing
or continuation for the affected currency shall be suspended until Euro Funding Agent (upon
the instruction Euro Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice,
ProLogis may revoke any pending request for a Euro Committed Borrowing or continuation in the
affected currency, or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a
request for a Euro Committed Borrowing of Substitute Rate Loans denominated in Euro, and any
Euro Committed Loans that are not denominated in Euro and are affected by this provision shall
be converted to Euro in the Euro Equivalent amount of such Euro Loans at such time.
9.4 Increased Costs Generally.
9.4.1 Increased Costs. If any Change in Law shall:
(a) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory
loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or
for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Credit Party
(except (i) any reserve requirement contemplated by Section 9.4.5 and
(ii) any amount included in the Mandatory Cost, other than as set forth below);
(b) subject any Credit Party to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to
this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or any
Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Credit Party in
respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by
Section 9.1 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any
Excluded Tax);
(c) result in the Mandatory Cost, as calculated hereunder, not representing the
cost to any Credit Party of complying with the requirements of the Bank of England
and/or the Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank in relation to
its making, funding or maintaining Loans; or
(d) impose on any Credit Party or any applicable interbank market any other
condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or any Loans made by such Credit
Party or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Credit Party of making
or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any Loan), or to increase the
cost to such Credit Party of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of
maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the
amount of any sum received or receivable by such Credit Party hereunder (whether of principal,
interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Credit Party, ProLogis will pay (or cause
the applicable Borrower to pay) to such Credit Party, such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Credit Party for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
Global Senior Credit Agreement
129
9.4.2 Capital Requirements. If any Credit Party determines that any Change in
Law affecting such Credit Party or any Lending Office of such Credit Party or such Credit
Party’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect
of reducing the rate of return on such Credit Party’s capital or on the capital of such Credit
Party’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such
Credit Party or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Credit
Party, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Credit Party, to a level below that which such
Credit Party or such Credit Party’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in
Law (taking into consideration such Credit Party’s policies and the policies of such Credit
Party’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time ProLogis
will pay (or cause the applicable Borrower to pay) to such Credit Party, such additional
amount or amounts as will compensate such Credit Party or such Credit Party’s holding company
for any such reduction suffered.
9.4.3 Certificates for Reimbursement. Any Credit Party requesting compensation
pursuant to this Section 9.4 shall deliver to ProLogis (with a copy to Global
Administrative Agent) a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such
request and a calculation of the amount necessary to compensate such Credit Party or its
holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Section 9.4.1 or 9.4.2
above, and any such certificate shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error. ProLogis shall
pay (or cause the applicable Borrower to pay) such Credit Party the amount shown as due on any
such certificate within fifteen (15) days after receipt thereof.
9.4.4 Additional Reserve Requirements. Each applicable Borrower shall pay to
each Lender, (a) as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to
liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently
known as “Eurocurrency liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid principal
amount of each Eurocurrency Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to
such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination
shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error), and (b) as long as such Lender shall be
required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any other
central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the funding of the
Eurocurrency Rate Loans, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and
rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs
allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which
determination shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error), which in each case shall be due
and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided each
applicable Borrower shall have received at least fifteen (15) days’ prior notice (with a copy
to Global Administrative Agent) of such additional interest or costs from such Lender. If a
Lender fails to give notice fifteen (15) days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date,
such additional interest or costs shall be due and payable fifteen (15) days from receipt of
such notice.
9.4.5 Limitations on Lender Claims. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of
this Section 9.4, no Lender shall be entitled to compensation for any cost, increased
costs or liability resulting from a failure by such Lender to comply with any request from or
requirement of any central banking or financial regulatory authority (whether or not having
Global Senior Credit Agreement
130
the force of law, but if not having the force of law being a request of a nature with which
banks generally are expected or accustomed to comply).
9.5 Compensation for Losses. Each Borrower agrees that it will, from time to time, compensate
each Lender for and hold each Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by such
Lender as a result of:
(a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan of such
Lender to such Borrower (other than a Base Rate Loan or ABR Rate Loan) on a day
other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary,
mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);
(b) any failure by such Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such
Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan of (or to be
made by) such Lender to such Borrower (other than a Base Rate Loan or ABR Rate Loan)
on the date or in the amount notified by such Borrower;
(c) any failure by such Borrower to make payment of any Loan or reimbursement
obligation under any Letter of Credit (or interest due thereon) in the currency in
which such Loan or reimbursement obligation is denominated; or
(d) any assignment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or BA Rate Loan of such Lender
to such Borrower on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as
a result of a request by ProLogis pursuant to Section 16.12;
including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it
to maintain such Loans or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds
were obtained or, solely in the case of subsection (c) above, any foreign exchange losses
(but excluding any loss of anticipated profits).
For purposes of calculating amounts payable by a Borrower to a Lender under this
Section 9.5, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurocurrency Rate Loan made by
it at the Eurocurrency Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the offshore
interbank market for such currency for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or
not such Eurocurrency Rate Loan was in fact so funded.
Any Lender requesting compensation pursuant to this Section 9.5 shall deliver to the
applicable Borrower (with copies to ProLogis, Global Administrative Agent and the applicable
Funding Agent) a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail a calculation of the amount
demanded and any such certificate shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error. The applicable
Borrower shall pay the applicable Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within
fifteen (15) days after receipt thereof.
9.6 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.
9.6.1 Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Credit Party requests
compensation under Section 9.4, or any Borrower is required to pay any additional
amount
Global Senior Credit Agreement
131
to any Credit Party or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Credit Party
pursuant to Section 9.1, or if any Credit Party gives a notice pursuant to
Section 9.2, then such Credit Party shall use reasonable efforts to designate a
different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights
and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the
reasonable judgment of such Credit Party, such designation or assignment (a) would eliminate
or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 9.1 or 9.4, as the case may be,
in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 9.2, and (b)
in each case, would not subject such Credit Party to any unreimbursed cost or expense and
would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Credit Party. ProLogis hereby agrees to pay
(or to cause the applicable Borrower to pay) all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any
Credit Party in connection with any such designation or assignment.
9.6.2 Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Credit Party to
demand compensation pursuant to Section 9.1, 9.4 or 9.5 shall not
constitute a waiver of such Credit Party’s right to demand such compensation, provided
that no Borrower shall be required to compensate a Credit Party pursuant to any such
Section for any Indemnified Taxes, Other Taxes, increased cost, reduction in return, funding
loss or other amount (any of the foregoing, a “Compensation Amount”) incurred or
suffered more than six (6) months prior to the date that such Credit Party notified ProLogis
of the Change in Law or other event giving rise to such Compensation Amount and of such Credit
Party’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law or other
event giving rise to such Compensation Amount is retroactive, then the six (6) month period
referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
9.6.3 Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under
Section 9.4, or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender
or
any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 9.1,
ProLogis may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 16.12.
9.7 Qualified Lender Status. If a Lender notifies the applicable Funding Agent (orally or in
writing ) that it is a Qualified Lender with respect to the imposition of a withholding tax, and
(a) such Qualified Lender is subject to withholding taxes immediately prior to and after the
funding of the applicable Loan, and (b) there were Fronting Lenders available to make such Loan on
behalf of such Lender as set forth in Section 2.2.2(b) or 4.2.2(b), as applicable,
then the applicable Borrower shall not be required to pay any withholding taxes imposed on the
payments to such Lender on account of such Loan. Furthermore, each Funding Agent shall be permitted
to rely solely on any notices, certificates, or Assignment and Assumptions provided by any Lender
regarding its status as a Qualified Lender, and such Funding Agent shall not be required to
independently verify such Lender’s status or request any updates from such Lender as to whether it
remains a Qualified Lender at the time of any request for a Credit Extension. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, this Section 9.7 shall not limit any right or remedy of any Lender under this
Article IX with respect to any Loan to the extent such Lender ceases to be a Qualified
Lender due to a Change in Law after the funding of such Loan.
9.8 Survival. All obligations under this Article IX shall survive termination of the
Aggregate Tranche Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.
Global Senior Credit Agreement
132

4243 of ERISA with respect to a Multiemployer Plan; and (iv) neither ProLogis nor

of purchasing or carrying margin stock.

under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
11.14 Disclosure. Each Borrower has disclosed to the Credit Parties all agreements,
instruments and corporate or other restrictions to which any Company is subject, and all other
matters known to it, that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result

furnished (whether in writing or orally) by or on behalf of any Loan Party to any Credit Party in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and the negotiation of this Agreement or

other

138
information so furnished) contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any
material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading in any material respect; provided that, with respect
to projected financial information, each Borrower represents only that such information was
prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time.

requirements of all Laws and all orders, writs, injunctions and decrees applicable to it or to its
properties, except in such instances in which (a) such requirement of Law or order, writ,
injunction or decree is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently
conducted or (b) the failure to comply therewith, either individually or in the aggregate, could
not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
11.16 Dutch Banking Act. Each Dutch Borrower is in compliance with the Dutch Banking Act and
any regulations issued pursuant thereto.

Global Senior Credit Agreement
155
No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the
request of the Required Lenders (or such other number, percentage or group of Lenders as shall be
necessary, or as such Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances
as provided in Sections 16.1 and 14.2) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross
negligence or willful misconduct. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless
and until notice describing such Default is given to such Agent by ProLogis, a Lender or an L/C
Issuer.
No Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (1) any statement,
warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document

authenticated by the proper Person. Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally
or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any
liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the
making
of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the
satisfaction of a Lender or any L/C Issuer, each Agent may presume that such condition is
satisfactory to such Lender or such L/C Issuer unless such Agent shall have received notice to the
contrary from such Lender or such L/C Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of
such Letter of Credit. Any Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the
Companies), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for
any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants
or experts.
15.5 Delegation of Duties. Each Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its
rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more

then retiring Global Administrative Agent may on behalf of Lenders and L/C Issuer, appoint a

that if Global Administrative Agent shall notify ProLogis and Lenders that no qualifying Person has
accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance
with such notice and (1) retiring Global Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties
and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any

which shall be a bank with an office in the applicable jurisdiction of the affected Tranche, or an
Affiliate of a bank with an office in the applicable jurisdiction of the affected Tranche. If no
such successor shall have been so appointed by Global Administrative Agent and shall have accepted

resignation, then the retiring Funding Agent may on behalf of the applicable Lenders appoint a
successor Funding Agent for the applicable Tranche meeting the qualifications set forth above;

harmless each Indemnitee from all reasonable fees and time charges and disbursements for
attorneys who may be employees of any Indemnitee, incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted
against any Indemnitee by any third party or by any Borrower or any other Loan Party arising
out of, in connection with, or as a result of (a) the execution or delivery of this Agreement,
any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the
performance by the parties hereto of their respective
Global Senior Credit Agreement
165
obligations hereunder or thereunder, the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or, in the case of Global
Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and its Related Parties only, the
administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (b) any Loan or Letter of
Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by any L/C
Issuer to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in
connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit),
(c) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property
owned or operated by any Borrower or any Eligible Affiliate, or any Environmental Liability
related in any way to any Borrower or any Eligible Affiliates, or (d) any actual or
prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing,
whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by
ProLogis or any other Loan Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto,
in all cases whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of the comparative,
contributory or sole negligence of the Indemnitee; provided that such indemnity shall
not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by
final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties or (y) result from a claim brought
by ProLogis or any other Loan Party against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such
Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if ProLogis or such other
Loan Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.
16.4.3 Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that ProLogis for any reason
fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under Section 16.4.1 or 16.4.2
to be paid by it to any Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), any L/C Issuer or any Related Party
of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to such Agent (or any such
sub-agent), such L/C Issuer or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s
Applicable Global
Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or
indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed
expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be,
was incurred by or asserted against such Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such L/C Issuer in
its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for any
Agent (or any such sub-agent) or any L/C Issuer in connection with such capacity. The
obligations of Lenders under this Section 16.4.3 are subject to the provisions of
Section 8.9.
16.4.4 Indemnification by Funding Agents. Each Funding Agent shall indemnify
Global Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), and each Related
Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Agent
Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Agent Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses,
claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the fees, charges and
disbursements of any counsel for any Agent Indemnitee) incurred by any Agent Indemnitee or
asserted against any Agent Indemnitee by any third party or by any Borrower or any other Loan
Party to the extent such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses arise from
the action of such Funding Agent, in all cases whether or not caused by or
Global Senior Credit Agreement
166
arising, in whole
or in part, out of the comparative, contributory or sole negligence of such Funding Agent;
provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Agent Indemnitee, be available to
the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have
resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent Indemnitee or any of
its Related Parties or (y) result from a claim brought by such Funding Agent against an Agent
Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any
other Loan Document, if such Funding Agent has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in
its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.
16.4.5 Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, no Borrower shall assert, and each Borrower hereby waives, any claim against
any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive
damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a
result of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated
hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the
use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the
use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through
telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby
except to the extent that such damages are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by
final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such Indemnitee.
16.4.6 Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later
than ten (10) Business Days after demand therefor.
16.4.7 Survival. The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation of
any Agent and any L/C Issuer, the replacement of any Lender, repayment of any Lender’s
Obligations on the Initial Maturity Date, the termination of the Aggregate Tranche Commitments
and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of any of the Obligations.
16.5 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of any Borrower is
made to any Agent, any L/C Issuer, any Fronting Lender or any Lender, or any Agent, any Fronting
Lender, any L/C Issuer or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the
proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent
or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by any
Agent, any L/C Issuer or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any
other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a)
to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied
shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or
such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each applicable Lender severally agrees to pay to the
applicable Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered
from or repaid by such Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the
date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to
time in effect, in the applicable
Global Senior Credit Agreement
167
currency of such recovery or payment. The obligations of Lenders
under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the
Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
16.6 Successors and Assigns.
16.6.1 Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall
be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors
and permitted assigns, except that no Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its
rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Agent and each
Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations
hereunder except (a) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of
Section 16.6.2, (b) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of
Section 16.6.4 of this Section, or (c) by way of pledge or assignment of a security
interest subject to the restrictions of Section 16.6.6 (and any other attempted

Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the
parties hereto, their respective successors and permitted assigns, Participants to the extent
provided in Section 16.6.4 and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the
Related Parties of Agents, L/C Issuer and Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or
claim under or by reason of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Borrower may
assign its rights under this Agreement to a Short Term Affiliate Borrower that assumes the
assigning Borrower’s obligations hereunder.
16.6.2 Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more
Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement
(including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans (including for purposes of this
Section 16.6.2, participations in L/C Obligations, in Swing Line Loans, and in
Fronting Loans) at the time owing to it); provided that
(a) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the
assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case
of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with
respect to a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitment or, if the Commitment is
not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning
Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and
Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the applicable Funding
Agent (with a copy to Global Administrative Agent) or, if “Trade Date” is specified
in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than (i)
$5,000,000 for assignments of Loans or Commitments denominated in Dollars, (ii) EUR
5,000,000 for assignments of Loans or Commitments denominated in Euro, (iii)
£5,000,000 for assignments of Loans or Commitments denominated in Sterling, (iv)
¥500,000,000 for assignments of Loans or Commitments denominated in Yen,

Dollars, (vi) KRW 5,000,000,000 for assignments of Loans or Commitments denominated
in KRW, and (vii) the amount set forth in any Supplemental Tranche for any other
currencies, unless the applicable Funding Agent, and, so long as no Event of
Global Senior Credit Agreement
168
Default has occurred and is continuing, ProLogis otherwise consents (each such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that
concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments
from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible
Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment
for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met;
(b) (i) Subject to clauses (ii) and (iii) below, each partial
assignment under a particular Tranche shall be made as an assignment of a
proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under such
Tranche with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned, except that this
clause (b) shall not apply to rights in respect of Swing Line Loans and
Fronting Loans; (ii) the assignor and assignee in each partial assignment under a
particular Tranche that occurs on or after the Third Amendment Effective Date and
prior to the Initial Maturity Date shall specify in the Assignment and Assumption
the amounts of the Extended Commitment, the Non-Extended Commitment and the Initial
Commitment being assigned; (iii) on or after the Third Amendment Effective Date and
prior to the Initial Maturity Date, after giving effect to any assignment of any
Extended Commitment under a Tranche, both the assignor and the assignee will have an
Initial Commitment under such Tranche, unless, with respect to the assignor, such
assignor assigns all of its Extended Commitment under such Tranche; and (iv) to the
extent the assignee in a partial assignment under a particular Tranche that occurs
prior to the Initial Maturity Date requests to extend its assumed Non-Extended
Commitment to the Extended Maturity Date, it may do so as an Increasing Lender under
Section 8.13, subject to the conditions thereto.
(c) any assignment of a Commitment under any Tranche must be approved by the
applicable Funding Agent, each applicable L/C Issuer and the
applicable Swing Line Lender (each such approval not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) unless the Person that is the proposed assignee is itself a
Lender (whether or not the proposed assignee would otherwise qualify as an Eligible
Assignee);
(d) to the extent that a Lender is assigning any portion of its Commitment or
Loans under more than one Tranche, then such Lender must submit a separate
Assignment and Assumption for each Tranche and each such assignment shall be deemed
a separate assignment under this Section 16.6; and
(e) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the applicable
Funding Agent (with a copy to Global Administrative Agent) an Assignment and
Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee payable to such Funding
Agent in the amount (which fee is not an obligation of any Loan Party), if any,
required as set forth in Schedule 16.6, and the Eligible Assignee, if it is
not a Lender, shall deliver to the applicable Funding Agent (with a copy to Global
Administrative Agent) an Administrative Questionnaire.
Global Senior Credit Agreement
169
Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the applicable Funding Agent pursuant to
Section 16.6.3, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and
Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent
of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a
Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the
interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this
Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s
rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but
shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 9.1, 9.4, 9.5,
and 16.4 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of
such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this
Agreement that does not comply with this Section shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as
a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with
Section 16.6.4.
16.6.3 Register. Each Funding Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent
of Borrowers, shall maintain at such Funding Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and
Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of
Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing
to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (each, a “Register”).
The entries in each Register shall be conclusive, and Borrowers, Global Administrative Agent,
each Funding Agent, and Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in a Register
pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement,
notwithstanding notice to the contrary. Each Register shall be available for inspection by
any party to this Agreement at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior
notice.
16.6.4 Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or
notice to, any Borrower or any Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural
person or ProLogis or any of ProLogis’ Affiliates or any Eligible Affiliates) (each, a
“Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations
under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including
such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans and/or Fronting Loans)
owing to it); provided that (a) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall
remain unchanged, (b) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto
for the performance of such obligations and (c) Borrowers, Agents, Lenders and L/C Issuers
shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s
rights and obligations under this Agreement.
Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide
that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any
amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such
agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the
Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to
Section 16.1 that affects such Participant. Subject to Section 16.6.5, each
Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the
benefits of Sections 9.1,
9.4 and 9.5 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest
by assignment pursuant to Section 16.6.2. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant
also shall be entitled to the
Global Senior Credit Agreement
170
benefits of Section 16.8 as though it were a Lender,
provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 8.9 as though it were a
Lender.
16.6.5 Limitation upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled
to receive any greater payment under Section 9.1 or 9.4 than the applicable
Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such
Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with ProLogis’
prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall
not be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.1 unless ProLogis is notified of the
participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of
Borrowers, to comply with Section 9.1.6 as though it were a Lender.
16.6.6 Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security
interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of
such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve
Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of
its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a
party hereto.
16.6.7
Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,”
“signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to
include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which
shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature
or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as
provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and
National Commerce Act, the
New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other
similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.
16.6.8 Resignation as an L/C Issuer, Fronting Lender or a Swing Line Lender after
Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time any
Agent or any Fronting Lender assigns all of its Commitment and Loans pursuant to
Section 16.6.2 above, such Agent or Fronting Lender, as applicable, may, (a) upon
thirty (30) days’ notice to ProLogis and Lenders in the affected Tranche, resign as an L/C
Issuer and/or (b) upon thirty (30) days’ notice to ProLogis and Lenders in the affected
Tranche, resign as a Fronting Lender and/or (c) upon thirty (30) days’ notice to ProLogis and
Lenders in the affected Tranche, resign as a Swing Line Lender. In the event of any such
resignation as an L/C Issuer, Fronting Lender, or a Swing Line Lender, ProLogis shall be
entitled to appoint from among Lenders a successor L/C Issuer, Fronting Lender, or Swing Line
Lender hereunder; provided that no failure by ProLogis to appoint any such successor
shall affect the resignation of such Agent as an L/C Issuer, Fronting Lender, or a Swing Line
Lender, as the case may be. If any Person resigns as an L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the
rights, powers, privileges and duties of an L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to
all Letters
of Credit issued by it and outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as an L/C
Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require Lenders to
make Committed Loans or fund risk participations in unreimbursed amounts). If any Lender
resigns as a Fronting Lender or Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of a
Fronting Lender or Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to
Global Senior Credit Agreement
171
Fronting Loans or
Swing Line Loans, as applicable, made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such
resignation, including the right to require Lenders to make Committed Loans or fund risk
participations of such outstanding Loans (in the original currency of such Loans). Upon the
appointment of a successor L/C Issuer, Fronting Lender, and/or Swing Line Lender, (i) such
successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges,
obligations, and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer, Fronting Lender, or Swing Line Lender, as
the case may be, and (ii) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in
substitution for the Letters of Credit issued by the resigning L/C Issuer, if any, outstanding
at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to such Agent to
effectively assume the obligations of such Agent with respect to such Letters of Credit.
16.7 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each Credit Party agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below),
except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’
respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives (it being
understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential
nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent
requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any
self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the
extent required by applicable Laws or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other
party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan
Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the
enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions
substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any actual or prospective assignee of or
Participant in any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or
prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or
derivative transaction relating to a Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of ProLogis
or (h) to the extent such Information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach
of this Section.
For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from ProLogis,
any Borrower, or any Consolidated Subsidiary relating to ProLogis, any Borrower, or any
Consolidated Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that
is available to the applicable Credit Party on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than
ProLogis, any Borrower or any Consolidated Subsidiary.
Each Credit Party acknowledges that (1) the Information may include material non-public information
concerning ProLogis, any Borrower, or any Consolidated Subsidiary, as the case may be, (2) it has
developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (3) it
will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable Law, including
Federal and state securities Laws.
16.8 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each
Lender, each L/C Issuer, and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time
and from time to time, after obtaining the prior written consent of Global Administrative Agent, to
the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general
or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other
Global Senior Credit Agreement
172
obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, such L/C Issuer or such
Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party against any and all of the
obligations of such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or such L/C
Issuer shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such
obligations of such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of
such Lender or L/C Issuer different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on
such indebtedness. The rights of each Lender, each L/C Issuer and their respective Affiliates
under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff)
that such Lender, such L/C Issuer or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and each
L/C Issuer agrees to notify ProLogis and Global Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff
and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the
validity of such setoff and application.
16.9 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan
Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the
maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If
any Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the
excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid
principal, refunded to the applicable Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted
for, charged, or received by any Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to
the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an
expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects
thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount
of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.
16.10 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in
counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall
constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.
This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties
relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and
understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in
Section 10.1, this Agreement shall become effective when Global Administrative Agent shall
have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each party
hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy
shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
16.11 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document is held to
be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the
remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or
impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the
illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision with valid provisions the economic effect of which
comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision. The
invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable
such provision in any other jurisdiction.
Global Senior Credit Agreement
173
16.12 Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 9.4,
or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental
Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 9.1, or if any Lender is a
Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then ProLogis may, at its sole expense and effort,
upon notice to such Lender and Global Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and
delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and
consents required by, Section 16.6), all of its interests, rights and obligations under
this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations
(which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:
(a) ProLogis shall have paid (or caused an Affiliate Borrower to pay) to Global
Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 16.6.2;
(b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the
outstanding principal of its Loans and L/C Advances, accrued interest thereon,
accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents (including any amounts under Section 9.5) from the assignee (to
the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the
applicable Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);
(c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation
under Section 9.4 or payments required to be made pursuant to
Section 9.1, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation
or payments thereafter; and
(d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws.
A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a
result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling ProLogis to require
such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
16.13 Additional Fronting Lenders; Change in Fronting Commitments. At any time after the
Closing Date, ProLogis may make a request to Global Administrative Agent that any existing Lender
act as an additional Fronting Lender. Upon Global Administrative Agent’s approval that such Lender
may act as a Fronting Lender, Global Administrative Agent shall promptly notify such Lender of such
request. Upon the agreement by the applicable Lender to act as a Fronting Lender, such Lender
shall become a Fronting Lender hereunder with a Fronting Commitment in an amount agreed to by
ProLogis, Global Administrative Agent, and such Fronting Lender, and Global Administrative Agent
shall promptly notify ProLogis and each Agent of such additional Fronting Lender and such Fronting
Lender’s Fronting Commitment. In addition, any Fronting Lender may from time to time increase or
decrease its Fronting Commitment pursuant to a written agreement executed by ProLogis, Global
Administrative Agent, and such Fronting Lender and Global Administrative Agent shall promptly
notify each Agent of such change in a Fronting Lender’s Fronting Commitment.

(b) any change in the status of any Loan Party after the date of this
Agreement; or
(c) a proposed assignment or transfer by a Lender of any of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement to a party that is not a Lender prior to such
assignment or transfer;
requires any Funding Agent or any Lender (or, in the case of paragraph (c) above, any
prospective new Lender) to comply with “know your customer” or similar identification procedures in
circumstances where the necessary information is not already available to it, each Loan Party under
the applicable Tranche shall promptly upon the request of the Funding Agent under such Tranche or
any Lender under such Tranche supply, or procure the supply of, such documentation and other
evidence as is reasonably requested by such Funding Agent (for itself or on behalf of any Lender
under the applicable Tranche) or such Lender (for itself or, in the case of the event described in
paragraph (c) above, on behalf of any prospective new Lender under the applicable Tranche)
in order for such Funding Agent, such Lender or, in the case of the event described in
paragraph (c) above, such prospective new Lender to carry out and be satisfied it has
complied with all necessary “know your customer” or other similar checks under all applicable Laws
pursuant to the transactions contemplated in the Loan Documents.

Laws pursuant to the transactions contemplated in the Loan Documents.
16.17.3 Additional Loan Parties. Following any request that an Eligible
Affiliate becomes an Affiliate Borrower under a Tranche pursuant to Section 8.11 or
the addition of any Guarantor in accordance with Section 12.13(b), if the accession of
such Affiliate Borrower or Guarantor requires any Lender to comply with “know your customer”
or similar identification procedures in circumstances where the necessary information is not
already available to it, ProLogis shall promptly upon the request of such Credit Party supply,
or procure the supply of, such documentation and other evidence as is reasonably requested by

Party or any prospective new Credit Party to carry out and be satisfied it has complied with
the results of all necessary “know your customer” or other similar checks under all applicable
Laws pursuant to the accession of such Affiliate Borrower or such Guarantor to this Agreement.
16.17.4 Limitation on Assignments. Notwithstanding Section 16.6, an
assignment under any Tranche will only be effective on performance by the applicable Funding

to carry out in relation to such assignment, the completion of which the applicable Funding
Agent shall promptly notify to the assigning Lender and the applicable Eligible Assignee.
16.17.5 Lender Responsibility. Nothing in this Agreement shall require any Agent
or any Arranger to carry out any “know your customer” or other checks in relation to any
person on behalf of any Lender and each Lender confirms to each Agent and each Arranger that
it is solely responsible for any such checks it is required to carry out and that it may not

currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking
procedures the applicable Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the
Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of each Borrower in
respect of any such sum due from it to any Credit Party hereunder or under the other Loan Documents
shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that
in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement
(the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day
following receipt by the applicable Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment
Currency, such Agent may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement
Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less
than the sum originally due to the applicable Credit Party from such Borrower in the Agreement
Global Senior Credit Agreement
177
Currency, such Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to
indemnify the applicable Credit Party against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency
so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the applicable Credit Party in such
currency, such Credit Party agrees to return the amount of any excess to such Borrower (or to any
other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law).

allocation or reallocation of Recoveries (as defined in the Security Agency Agreement) from such
Borrower.
16.23 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL
AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR
SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG THE
PARTIES.
16.24 Termination of Existing Credit Agreements. Lenders and the Credit Parties that are
parties to each Existing Credit Agreement (which ProLogis confirms constitute sufficient parties
under such Existing Credit Agreement to make the agreements set forth in this paragraph) agree that
on the Closing Date (and after giving effect to the payments required under Section
10.1.1(g)), the commitments (if any) under such Existing Credit Agreement shall terminate
(without regard to any provision thereof that requires advance notice of such termination) and such
Existing
Credit Agreement shall be of no further force or effect (except for provisions thereof that by
their terms survive termination thereof). Furthermore, each of the Lenders hereunder that is a
lender under an Existing Credit Agreement hereby waives the requirement set forth in such Existing
Credit Agreement, if any, that the applicable borrower provide any notice prior to prepayment of
the loans and credit extensions under such Existing Credit Agreement. The waiver set forth herein
is limited as provided herein and shall not be deemed to be a waiver or consent to any deviation
from the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

hereby, each Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its respective Affiliates’
understanding, that: (i) the credit facilities and Tranches provided for hereunder and any related
arranging or other services in connection therewith (including in connection with any amendment,
waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) are an arm’s-length commercial
transaction between such Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Global Administrative
Agent, any other Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders, on the other hand, and such Borrower is
capable of evaluating and understanding and understands and accepts the terms, risks and conditions
of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents (including any amendment,
waiver or other modification hereof or thereof); (ii) in connection with the process leading to
such transaction, each Agent and each Arranger is and has been acting solely as a principal and is
not the financial advisor, agent or fiduciary for such
Global Senior Credit Agreement
178
Borrower or any of its Affiliates,
stockholders, creditors or employees; (iii) none of Global Administrative Agent, any other Agent,
or any Arranger has assumed or will assume an advisory, agency or fiduciary responsibility in favor
of such Borrower with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading
thereto, including with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any
other Loan Document (irrespective of whether Global Administrative Agent, any other Agent, or any
Arranger has advised or is currently advising such Borrower or any of its Affiliates on other
matters) and none of Global Administrative Agent, any other Agent, or any Arranger has any
obligation to such Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated
hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents;
(iv) Global Administrative Agent, each other Agent, and the Arrangers and their respective
Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from
those of such Borrower and its Affiliates, and none of Global Administrative Agent, any other
Agent, or any Arranger has any obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any
advisory, agency or fiduciary relationship; and (v) Global Administrative Agent, each other Agent,
and the Arrangers have not provided and will not provide any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax
advice with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby (including any amendment, waiver
or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) and such Borrower has consulted its own
legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate. Each
Borrower hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claim that it may
have against Global Administrative Agent, any other Agent, and the Arrangers with respect to any
breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty.
